Panagia Kontariotissa

Dion-Olympos Municipality, Greece

The Panagia Kontariotissa, also spelled as the Panagia Kountouriotissa, and officially the Holy Church of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary, is a former Greek Orthodox church, located in the Pieria region of Central Macedonia, Greece. Completed in the c. 7th – c. 11th centuries, during the Byzantine era, the well-preserved monument has subsequently been repurposed for cultural use. The monument is located on a hill on the northwestern outskirts of the village Kontariotissa, approximately 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) southwest of Katerini on the slopes of Mount Olympus. Nearby is the Monastery of Saint Ephraim the Syrian. The name "Kontariotissa" refers to the name of the modern community that originated near the former church.
