It is a Byzantine building with an
one room basilica with dome that was
demolished in order to build a big crossshaped cathedral type.
In the western part is placed the tomb of the Agios Riginos (bishop of
Skopelos), who died on 362 A.D. It is a stone sarcophagus which dates
back to the 4th century.
Behind
the church are ruins of an ancient temple of Doric style. Also,
near the monastery there is a fresh water spring that is the main
supply of the monastery water.
