Abstract

The large two-aisled hall found in excavations south of the Trapeza of Hosios Loukas probably formed the substructure for a new wing of cells. Formal and construction elements date this building to the Middle Byzantine period. The building’s erection may be related to the increasing number of monks during the same period.
