Notes on the construction history and architecture of the Protaton church at Karyes, Mount Athos
Abstract
The church of the Protaton at Karyes, Mount Athos, which has acquired its present form after a long series of alterations, was built in the sixth decade of the 10th century. In its original form it was a large-scale peculiar timber-roofed cross-shaped basilica, which, based on the currently available evidence, constitutes a unicum for Middle Byzantine architecture, as well as one more proof of the existence of originality in Byzantine architecture. The aim of the paper is a reexamination of the construction history and architecture of the monument based mainly on field work.
