Showing Data Points related to the date/period 1225

The catholicon of the monastery of St. Nicholas at Mesopotam is one of the most notable architectural achievements of the late Byzantine period. It was built in 1224/25 close to ancient Phoenice, and stands, as its name reveals, between two rivers, Rivers Bishtricë and Kalasë. The site might have once been host to an ancient temple, as testified by the numerous spolia found on the spot and integrated in the church walls. The most characteristic are the reliefs representing mythical creatures in the eastern wall of the church. The monastery is fortified and situated close to the homonym Byzantine citadel, whose first mention as such in the Byzantine period dates in the XI century. The catholicon shows a massive cubic structure, crowned with four domes, resting on shallow drums. The church has a nave, the altar space, a narthex and preserves the ruins of a portico, which once surrounded the church from the northern, western and southern side. The whole arrangement of the church reveals a mixed media construction, of mortar rubble with a facing of coursed brick and roughly cut stone. The existence of two apses and holy tables constitutes another characteristic feature of the monument, suggesting the celebration of both religious rites inside the same space, orthodox and catholic rites.
