Constructed from spolia—recycled stone and architectural elements salvaged from earlier structures—the church reflects the common medieval practice of repurposing classical materials. Serving as both a parish church and cemetery chapel, it remains a protected heritage building in Greece, representing the persistence of Byzantine religious architecture in the Peloponnese during the High Middle Ages.
