The monastery of Panagia Portarea is one of the most important religious monuments of Portaria as the area was named after it. It was built over the first half of 13th century and around it, the first settlement begun to develop.Τhe murals date back to 1581 while the wood carved iconostasis was constructed in the early 18th century.
