The church of the Panagitsa is located near the village ofValyra in Messenia. Its interior dimensions are 3.00x5.97m. This little church has undergone repeated repairs andreconstruction. Today it has a tile-covered wooden roof,there are no painted or sculpted decorations, and nothingbetrays its Byzantine origins.The northern and southern walls of the original Byzantinestructure have been preserved, as well as the corners of theeastern wall. The original brickwork was executed in anexceptionally loose fashion, with large cornerstones inserted in the lower portions. Here and there in the masonrybrick letters have been inserted, the letter Κ in the northside, >K in the southern side, and others, but there are norows of dentrils. These features allow us to place this smallmonument chronologically at the beginning of the 11thcentury.
