Panagia Ekatontapiliani (Greek: Παναγία η Εκατονταπυλιανή); literally the church with 100 gates) or Panagia Katapoliani (Greek: Παναγία η Καταπολιανή) is a historic Byzantine church complex in Parikia town, on the island of Paros in Greece. The church complex contains a main chapel surrounded by two more chapels and a baptistery with a cruciform font.[1][2]
The origin of the church's name is obscure, as it does not have one hundred doors, or gates. One theory suggests that it is a corruption of the name "Katapoliani", i.e. "Lower Town church", as it lies by the sea in the lower part of the town of Parikia.[3]
