The original eastern section was extended, and frescoes painted in 1315 by the famous hagiographer Ioannis Pagomenos.  Suffering badly from smoke damage and centuries of deterioration, these were renovated in 2006-07, and depict the life of Agios Nikolaus, with scenes of the Last Judgement.  An Information Board tells you more.  The adjacent attractive campanile was added in the 19th century ; climb (with care) the inside steps for an unorthodox view towards Moni.  Sadly, and increasingly so in Crete, the church is usually locked, but photos show the frescoes before and after restoration.       <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/thepaleochorasite.com\/bobsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ag-Nikolaus-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thepaleochorasite.com\/bobsblog\/main\/domains\/thepaleochorasite.com\/public_html\/bobsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ag-Nikolaus-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thepaleochorasite.com\/bobsblog\/main\/domains\/thepaleochorasite.com\/public_html\/bobsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ag-Nikolaus-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thepaleochorasite.com\/bobsblog\/main\/domains\/thepaleochorasite.com\/public_html\/bobsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ag-Nikolaus-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thepaleochorasite.com\/bobsblog\/main\/domains\/thepaleochorasite.com\/public_html\/bobsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ag-Nikolaus-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/thepaleochorasite.com\/bobsblog\/main\/domains\/thepaleochorasite.com\/public_html\/bobsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ag-Nikolaus.jpg 1288w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Ag Nikolaus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thepaleochorasite.com\/bobsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Campanile-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2339\" width=\"483\" height=\"644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thepaleochorasite.com\/bobsblog\/main\/domains\/thepaleochorasite.com\/public_html\/bobsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Campanile-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thepaleochorasite.com\/bobsblog\/main\/domains\/thepaleochorasite.com\/public_html\/bobsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Campanile-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/thepaleochorasite.com\/bobsblog\/main\/domains\/thepaleochorasite.com\/public_html\/bobsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Campanile-750x1000.jpg 750w, https:\/\/thepaleochorasite.com\/bobsblog\/main\/domains\/thepaleochorasite.com\/public_html\/bobsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Campanile.jpg 966w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px\" \/><figcaption>Campanile<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Our next location  pre-dates Agios Nikolaus by maybe as many as two thousand years.
