The large majority of churches in Crete were built with materials found nearby. Often building material from other older churches, or ancient Greek or Roman temples, are used. In some cases a site was used as a Minoan Sanctuary, then as a Greek temple, then as a Christian church. An example of a church built on a mosaic floor from a previous Byzantine church is the church of the Panagia in Thronos, Amari. The church of Agios Iasatos in Agios Thomas, Monofatsi, has been built on a large hewn rock and its yard is on top of a space formerly occupied by a temple of the Hellenistic Period. The church of Agios Kirikos in Lissos, Selino, has been built on top of an earlier basilica of the fifth or sixth century, and has used building material (like marble parts) from a temple of an earlier period. The churches of Ai Yanni Kyr-Yannis in Alikianos, Kydonia, Agios Pandeleimonas in Bizariano (Pigi) Pediada, and the Panagia Paliani in Venerato have used the capitals of columns from temples of previous eras.
