The typology of 18th- and 19th-century churches on Pelion (Abstract)
Abstract
This presentation discusses the church typology of Pelion during the late Ottoman period. The churches can be grouped into two major types, basilica buildings and domed buildings. The most widespread type from the first group is the three-nave, timber-roofed or vaulted basilica with certain features, such as the upper galleries that were used to upscale the generic vessel of the church, while the single nave, timber-roofed or vaulted church is the most typical paradigm found elsewhere in the Greek territory. The domed buildings are on the other hand in each case of a contracted variant, either the cross-in-square, which do not have proper domes but shield-domes or the Athonite type with lateral apses. In conclusion, the church typology of Pelion, albeit merely original, stands out from the rest of the Greek territory for its fast appropriation of the evolutionary currents.
