The Church of the Transfiguration or Church of Christ is lying to the northwest of modern village Askri or Panagia, a few meters off the northeast limits of the officially declared archaeological area of the Valley of the Muses. The dating goes back to the Middle Byzantine times and belongs to the transitional cross-in-square domed church.

      Early Christian architecture in Boeotia (23/9/2010 v.1) Παλαιοχριστιανική αρχιτεκτονική στη Βοιωτία (23/9/2010 v.1)

Τhe baths of Antikyra, Livadia and Thebes, and the fortifications mainly of Plataies are some of the public, secular buildings of the period under study. As far as religious buildings are concerned, we find basilicas, mostly built οn the sites of ancient sanctuaries. Houses excavated at Thebes and Antikyra belong to the category of private buildings, while in Distomo an agricultural and crafting site/workshop has been unearthed.

Fort of Panacton

      Fort of Panacton (30/9/2010 v.1) Οχυρό Πανάκτου - has not been published yet

Panakton was a classical and early Hellenistic garrison fort maintained by Athenians on the frontier with Boeotia. The site has levels of prehistoric occupation, and undisturbed remains of a Late Byzantine village below the tower on the summit. Attractive for its defensible, mountaintop location, Panakton was the most substantial settlement in the area of the Skourta plain (Dervenochoria) in the periods of its occupation.

Housing architecture in late Medieval and Ottoman Boeotia

      Housing architecture in late Medieval and Ottoman Boeotia (23/9/2010 v.1) Οικιστική αρχιτεκτονική στη Βοιωτία του Ύστερου Μεσαίωνα και των Οθωμανικών χρόνων (5/5/2011 v.1)

The archaeological evidence for rural housing in Boeotia during the Late Medieval or Frankish and Early Ottoman periods is rather limited. The identification of rural settlements dated between the 13th and 16th/17th centuries relies on systematic surface survey and the discovery of ruined feudal towers, traces of longhouses, and surface pottery concentrations. Late Ottoman houses share similar characteristics to housing types that remained more or less unchanged from the Late Medieval period,...

I teatri della Beozia antica

    I teatri della Beozia antica (12/12/2012 v.1) Ancient theatres in Boeotia  (12/12/2012 v.1) Αρχαία θέατρα της Βοιωτίας - has not been published yet

La Beozia costituisce una delle regioni del mondo antico più densamente interessate dalla presenza di teatri. Allo stato attuale, nella regione si possono annoverare ben dieci strutture di cui nove teatri ed un telesterion. All’interno di questo dato bisogna fare un’ulteriore distinzione tra teatri archeologicamente noti e teatri attestati soltanto dalle fonti antiche.

Medieval fortifications in Boeotia

      Medieval fortifications in Boeotia (29/9/2010 v.1) Μεσαιωνική οχυρωματική αρχιτεκτονική στη Βοιωτία (29/9/2010 v.1)

Defensive architecture in Boeotia involves fortified towns (whose fortifications often use ancient or early Byzantine works), castles built mostly during the Frankish and Catalan occupation, a large number of towers and fortified monasteries. The already existing research is insufficient and a large number of monuments remains unearthed or has been destroyed.
