11th-century Byzantine church housing a rare 6th-century pre-iconoclastic mosaic of the Virgin Mary.
The church's name translates to 'Built by Angels', as legend tells that celestial angels descended by night to raise the sanctuary walls.
Inside the apse survives an extraordinary 6th-century mosaic depicting the Virgin Mary holding the infant Christ between the archangels Michael and Gabriel—one of the world's crowning examples of early Christian pre-iconoclastic art.
