The Church of Saint Panteleimon in Aigeira is a classic example of modern Greek Orthodox sacred architecture, which is strongly based on historical Byzantine models.
The floor plan follows the type of a cross-domed church. The central element is the large, highly visible main dome, which rests on a tambour (a cylindrical wall ring).
Characteristic is the use of light yellow plaster in combination with the typical red tile roofs. The window arches and cornices are often accentuated with reddish bricks, which gives the building a warm, Mediterranean aesthetic.
