The wall painting illustrated on this stamp comes from the Church of the Transfiguration of the Saviour ( Tou Sotira) at Palechori (Palaeochorio). The building is from the early 16th century, and the interior of the chapel (except for the roof ) is completely painted with a series of wall paintings of the post Byzantine period.
