    The church of Hagios Demetrios is a church dedicated to St. Early Byzantine church consecrated to Demetrios of Thessaloniki. It is located at the foot of the hill of the upper town near the old market and is dedicated to this early Christian saint, one of the most important saints of the Greek Orthodox Church.

    The first small church, according to some scholars, was built in the early 4th century on the site of a Roman bath complex. A century later, a three-aisled basilica followed, which was damaged several times by fire and earthquakes.
