Theotokos Kosmosoteira

Alexandroupolis Municipality, Greece · built 1152

The Theotokos Kosmosoteira (lit. 'Theotokos the World-Saviour') is a Greek Orthodox church in Feres, Evros, in the Western Thrace region of Greece. It was built as a monastery in c. 1152 by the sebastokrator Isaac Komnenos, a son of the Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos. The monastery became the core of the settlement of Feres, but is last attested in the mid-14th century. By the 15th-century, during the Ottoman era, the complex was a mosque; and it was reconsecrated as a church in 1940, administered by the Metropolis of Alexandroupolis.
