A small double-aisled church in the XVth c. Byzantine style
A small building in the simple medieval Byzantine style (1300)

A minute chapel or oratory at the west end (exterior) of St. Anne's
Near St. Anne's; formed out of a quarried chamber in the rock
Also: St. Antonio; Latin in origin, ca. 1300. A dispute: which location?
Very easy to identify amongst the ruins of the city
Orthodox Cathedral, example of the mixture between East and West
(...) as to its history we have not a clue of any kind (...)
l Possibly one of the most important churches in the city
An example of European art, now the Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque
Erected between 1373 and 1571

The chapel of the Latin Bishop? (probably not...)
A walk through the moat at 06.30 hours to see a lovely sunrise...
