Placed in St. Miceli countryside, a little bit to the of bottom of the old national road. It is an ancient Byzantine Church of the XI-XII century, to cross Greek with cylindrical dome and lengthened to the center of the cross. The apse, that it completes the heading of the cross, it carried signs of continuous rehashes, in contrast with the other structures. In succession to a restauration it is reappeared in his original form. In the Church could be admired an ancient font baptismal adorned of crosses gemmates.
