Church of Saint George.
Axos, church of Agios Georgios (Saint George)
The church of Agios Georgios belongs to the single-nave barrel-vaulted type. It is likely that in the second half of the 14th century a narthex was added to a pre-existing church and the whole building was then decorated with murals.
