Review:
Widely believed to be one of the country's oldest surviving Christian temples, the Church of the Acheiropoietos dates back to approximately 452 A.D. Acheiropoietos translates as 'not made by human hand', which refers to the belief that the icon of the Virgin Mary that used to be kept in the church was created by divine hands rather than human ones.
Although the icon is no longer here, visitors will still have the chance to see plenty of beautiful mosaics, frescoes, and marble columns. The church is open to visitors free of charge, but it's advisable to check the opening hours as they sometimes change.
