Approaching this church you are impressed by the size, its location on a small hill, its completeness, and the beauty of the stonework. It was built in the thirteenth century on the site of a previous church, and was formerly part of a large monastery.
Once inside it is magnificent. The dome rests on eight pilasters, on which stand three rows of columns, leaving the interieur open. It is adorned with decorative brickwork and frescoes from different ages featuring the Nativity, Evangelists and Prophets.
Well worth making a detour to Arta to see this beautiful Church.

There are Roman columns and pieces of ancient marble in this venerable old church. The wall paintings are brilliant and clear. This is an important old church and dedicated to Agia Theodora the patron saint of Arta

Stunning designed rooms, with perfectly lit statues, cases of ancient weapons, musical instruments, graves with skeletons and grave goods. I was bowled over by this museum. The highlight was the reconstruction of an ancient house with a hearth, The ancient town was called Ambracia, founded in 600 BC. It had urban planning, every house had water and this was a surprise! The civilisation was sophisticated. Wall panels showed the early history and the fall of Ambracia after the battle of Actium .
Today, Arta is not on the tourist route, but there is so much to see, it is worth going here, especially to see this Museum. My guidebook is brilliantly printed in both Greek and English, and the attendants there are very pleasant, although they don't speak English, but all the descriptions of the artifacts are in English and Greek. What a five star experience!

Ένα πανέμορφο κάστρο το οποίο ήταν κλειστό για πάνω από 15 χρόνια παλιά υπήρχε ξενοδοχείο μέσα και εστιατόριο καφετέρια το οποίο είναι εγκατελειμένα τώρα και είναι πολύ άσχημο Θέλει πάρα πολύ δουλειά ακόμα μέσα για να γίνει όπως ήταν παλιά και του αξίζει να γίνει πάλι όπως παλιά.

Η τέχνη της ζωγραφικής, γλυπτικής και ηχητικών εφέ συναθροίζεται στο σημείο 0 του Αχελώου ποταμού. Χρειάζεται οπωσδήποτε να το επισκεφθείς εάν βρίσκεσαι ως αλλότριος ή και εντόπιος στην Ήπειρο!
