The church of the Holy Apostles at Argos, Kalymnos, a metochion of the monastery of St. John the Theologian on Patmos, is a cross-in-square church with many peculiarities. It is regarded as an early version of the cross-in-square church simple four-columned type, in which the longitudinal axis of the transitional type has been limited, while the corner bays are covered by cross vaults and communicate with the cross arms through relatively large openings. In the center of the church instead of a dome there is a low vault, part of a sphere, which is supported on four T-shaped pillars. In the article an attempt is made to analyze morphological and typological issues, based upon which the monument is preferably dated between the 10th and 11th centuries.
