rial sponsorship, as attested by its structure and high-quality
decoration. Marble architectural elements, fragments of fres-
coes from various periods – the earlier being Early Christian
– sections of mosaic floors, as well as portable icons and
heirlooms, are found throughout the complex. The picture of
building activity on Paros in the Early Christian years is com-
pleted by two more monuments: the three-aisled basilica at
the site of Treis Ekklesies (2) near Paroikia, and the basilica
where today stands the single-nave church of Saint George,
at Voutakos (10), near Alyki. All three churches were built with
reused ancient building material, and exquisite marble relief
elements survive.
