This beautiful church stands off the main road, right in the centre of Old Zaros. It is the oldest church in Zaros. The south nave dates from the 14th century, the second nave was added in the 17th or 18th century. The wooden carved iconostasis is particularly ornate, while many of the church's icons are also of great interest. Unfortunately locked.

At the back of the church, a plaque commemorates a massacre of the locals by the Turkish occupiers (1866).
