It is dedicated to the Life-giving Spring. The church was built in 1786-1787 by Nicholas Mavrogenes, the Prince of Wallachia, and his wife Maria, in thanks for their daughter’s recovery from an incurable disease.

Further interventions were undertaken in 1941, following the 1940 quake, which destroyed the bell tower near the street; and in 1945, following the 1944 aerial bombardments. In 1971-1973, the interior was repainted after the 1927 frescoes had deteriorated. The 1977 earthquake affected the structure.The cross-shaped church has ample apses: these are rectangular on the exterior, semicircular on the interior, while the altar apse is elongated.
