Holy Church of Saint Paraskevi

On the road toward Palaio Gratsano, southwest of Velventos, one can encounter the Holy Church of Saint Paraskevi. If you cross the threshold of the single-aisled church, you will discover noteworthy frescoes by local artistic workshops, with pieces of work reflecting the anti-classical style of painting which used to dominate Macedonia towards the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century. A brief stop here is enough to feel how closely the history of spirituality intertwined with art — a heritage whose mark is visible in every corner of the place.
