The oldest church of Agia Anna, with wall paintings picturing Christ and various saints, is in this village. The dedicatory inscription has the year of 1196 incised in it. (See Gerοla, Μοnumenti ecc. IΙ, p. 299). There is also the church of Ag. Theodoros with wall paintings and inscriptions that date back to 1588 and 1731. (See K. Kalokiris, Anekdotoi epigrafai. "Kritika Hronika". E', p. 342). At a short distance from the village, the ruins of Theotokos (Kera Panagia) church are saved, where the bishop of Lampis, Methodios Siligardos, was killed in 1793.
