According to inscriptions, the church dates to the late 18th century, while the bell tower was added later, in 1886.<br\/>The church belongs to the type of the three-aisled basilica with a women\u2019s gallery (gynaikonitis). It is built of local grey stone. The carved wooden templon, made of rare walnut wood, is a unique example of early 19th-century craftsmanship. The despotic icons date from the same period. The elaborate ceiling is painted internally by Vasileios Droukas (1904).<br\/>Saint Paraskevi has been designated a protected monument by the Ministry of Culture since 1998. Over time, and due to the harsh weather conditions, the church and its decoration suffered significant deterioration, which Athanasios and Marina Martinos undertook to address through their donations.         <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DONATION OF THE NON-PROFIT CIVIL COMPANY AEGEAS<\/h4>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Conservation of the carved wooden templon and its icons.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Construction of carved wooden furnishings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conservation of historic marble funerary slabs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restoration study of the bell tower.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the central square of Ambliani\u2014one of the most picturesque villages of mountainous Evrytania, with a history dating back to the 15th century\u2014stands the Holy Church of Saint Paraskevi, the patron saint of the village.
