Saint Nikolaos Marmarites In Emporeio, Santorini
|
|
Located in Santorini, the Saint
Nikolaos Marmarites in Emporeio, is a grave monument with the shape of
a small, square temple, made entirely of gray marble.
Over the time, its architectural structure was preserved intact, along
with its roof which presents certain peculiarities: it is supported by
three monolithic marble posts which are situated inside the building
and it is all made of marble slabs.
|
The structure of the grave, which has its entrance located on the south
side, dates from the third century B.C. Inside the grave is sheltered
the statue of a goddess by a small niche which is bordered by small Ionic
columns. According to the inscription that is carved below the niche,
the temple was a family tomb and was dedicated to the goddess Basileia.
Nowadays, the monument functions as
a Christian church dedicated to St. Nikolaos. It has been called ‘Marmarites’ after
the material from which it was built.
