The Byzantine church of Saint Nikolaos Megalomatis (the Large-Eyed) or Stratilatis (the Commander) and the Domeneghini Tower are two of the most important monuments located in the prefecture of Zakynthos. The church of Saint Nikolaos Megalomatis constitutes one of the few specimens of Byzantine church architecture preserved in Zakynthos. It is situated on the east side of Mt Skopos, SE of the city of Zakynthos, and forms part of a lying in ruins later monastery complex of the 18th century. The strategic location of the site attached particular importance to the church, which affords a panoramic view to the west coast of the Peloponnese, where the castle of Kyllini (Chlemoutsi) dominates the landscape, overlooking the village of Vasiliko, too, where imperial estates extended traditionally in the Byzantine period.
