This
historic church is in Perachora itself and dates from 1767, when Greece
was still under Turkish rule. The twelve steps leading to its entrance and
the 
little
doors of the church were constructed in such a way to
prevent the conquerors from riding their horses inside during the service
and desecrating the holy place, as was their custom. In 1832 after the
liberation of Greece - a political faction called the 'Constitutionalists'
made the church their headquarters when they were forced to leave Argos
after a dispute with the supporters of Count Capodistrias, first Governor,
of Greece.
