The Old Church of St Marina is located in the south of the village. It was built in the 12 th century and retains a domed roof and a narthex (porch) that was added later on.

Several half worn-out frescoes are preserved in its dome. It is to this mediaeval church that community's new church owes its name.

Today the church of Agia Marina is being repaired, the expenses paid by the Antiquities Department, the Local Land Authority of Pyrga, and donations by the "Leventio Paraskevaidio" centre and other faithful.

In the church's rear side stands the village's first spring, through which the entire village was supplied with water in old times. In 1951 some water-supply projects were and the village's water supply was made easier by a second spring.
