_MG_4690, Geraki village
The church of Agios Athanasios Gerakion Laconia. 12th century. Hellas. Columns, and marble used are clearly visible, probably from the nearby ancient temple of the god Ares. During the construction of some churches around the village, such as the church of Agios Athanasios, Agios Ioannis Chrysostomos, etc., marbles were also used, which obviously came from ancient temples, buildings and statue pedestals.
