A small treasure of religious art is hidden at the Church of Aghios Nikolaos Orphanos, which was constructed in the early 14th century as the catholicon of a byzantine monastery. The frescoes decorating the walls are some of the most comprehensive ensembles preserved in Thessaloniki and expresses the traditional idea of Palaiologan painting.
