Church of the Parigoritissa
The Church of the Parigoritissa is the 13th-century Byzantine metropolitan church of the Greek city of Arta. Part of the building houses the Archaeological Collection of Arta. The church was founded in ca. 1290 by the Despot of Epirus, Nikephoros I Komnenos Doukas (r. 1268–1297), and his second wife Anna Kantakouzene. The church eventually became bankrupt, and was turned into a dependency (metochion) of the Monastery of Kato Panagia. In 1578, it is attested as a female convent.
