LABINI (Village) LAMBI
Lambini contains the Byzantine church of the Panagia Lambini, which
was built or renovated in early Venetian times. During the Byzantine era the bishopric
of Lambis was probably here. The church has cruciform architecture with a dome
supported by a drum and shorter side rooms so that the overall shape of the church
is almost a rectangle. The dome is supported by a drum with blind arches, and
these are also found on the sides of the church. The arches of the dome are agreeably
decorated with bricks in the Byzantine style. The church also contains frescoes
from the fourteenth century. In 1827 the Turks trapped Christians attending a
mass within the church, killed the men, and sold the women and children in Rethimnon.
