PRINOS (Village) ARKADI
The Byzantine church of the Panagia in Drakonero is here. The church
has cruciform architecture with a dome in the middle. Externally the church has
very unusual and ornate decorations around its door, unique on Crete. A tomb inside
the church is supported with lion heads, flowers and angels. A coat of arms, probably
of the Zangaroli family, is on the upper part of the tomb. In the church there
are some well-preserved frescoes of very good quality. The church of the Panagia
is on the side of the ravine and it is not visible from the road.
