Known as an ancient Byzantine
Basilica from the first centuries of Christianity, located in Perea-Pikridion,
Old Byzantine name of today’s Haskoy. Since the 6th century AD this
area has been a place of prayer and spiritual reflection.
The Saint Paraskevi Church was
restored in 1792 by the Saint Martyr King Constantin Brancoveanu (1654-1714)
and by the Greek Community under the governing of the Patriarch Constantin the
First (1830-1834). The tomb and relics of St Argyri (30 April 1725), located on
the premises, emphasise the sanctity of this place.
