STEMNITSA

Churches and Views

By the large number of churches built there and from other descriptions one can deduce that Stemnitsa was a significant village. According to some stories there were once seven parishes, each with its own priest and church. Today one can see many small Byzantine churches some still in a relatively good condition, despite the lack of any serious effort by anyone for their proper maintainance. The church of Bafero was built in 1185, the Zoodohos in 1433. The two larger ones are St. George (built 1860) and St. Paraskevi. Currently the single priest holds services on alternate Sundays in those two larger churches.
