The village of Limnati has two churches.
One of them is located in the northern part of the community and is dedicated to Metamorphosis Soteros. It was built in the end of the 18th century. However, it had to undergo renovation several times due to the damages that it suffered from earthquakes and other natural disasters.
The other church is located in the southern part of the village and is dedicated to Timios Prodromos. Unfortunately, there is no evidence to suggest when this church was built.
However, it is estimated that it must have been built sometime in the 16th or the 17th century. There is an inauguration date which reads 1898, but a church can operate for many years until it is dedicated to a saint.
Limnati is a village with many chapels as, according to tradition, the village used to have many residents. In fact, tradition has it that there used to be a bishopric in Limnati, at the location “Piskopeia” and it is for this reason that so many chapels are found in the area.
