Agios mattheos

The Sinaitic dependency of Saint Matthew was built in 1508 on the ruins of an older Byzantine temple in Heraklion. The complex includes the temple, two neoclassical buildings and an newer building. The oldest part, to the north of the two-aisled church with a transverse narthex, is the single-aisled vaulted church of Saint Matthew (Agios Mattheos), which according to the founding inscription was built in 1600
