The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin is a medieval parish church located in Argos-Mykines Municipality, Greece, built around 1200 in the Byzantine architectural style. 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.
