The Greek Orthodox Church Panagía Kerá (Greek Παναγία Κερά, dt. "Holy Lady") is located near Kritsa on Crete (Greece) not far from the Lasithi plateau. Also sometimes called Panagía i Kerá or Panhagia Kera, this church is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.[1] The church dates from the 13th century and houses well-preserved and restored Byzantine frescoes. It is a three-nave domed church. The two vaulted side aisles represent later additions to the original church. There are other churches that bear this name.

The monastery also houses a museum with artistic paintings, pieces of jewelery up to episcopal hangings and other items of equipment - quite impressive!
Entry to the entire facility costs 2 euros for tourists. Visitors with short skirts or trousers can borrow a cloth to tie around (as a skirt), as knee-length clothing is not permitted.
