The church the Pantovasilissa in Trigleia. Typological and morphological remarks
Abstract
In the church of the Pantovasilissa of Trigleia a peculiar/ variant of the cross-in-square complex four-columned type is applied, where the spaces of the bema are exceedingly limited. This shortening dictated/ provoked the walling of the small passages providing communication between the main bema and the parabemata, immediately after the completion of the monument and before its decoration/ painting. In the present article analogous examples of complex four-columned churches with a compact bema are examined, while the case that the east corner bays functioned as chapels is determined to be rather more likely.
