On a particularly steep slope of the gorge of Kria, after the chapel of Agios Minas, in the cave of Zoodochos Pigi, is the small chapel of Agia Jerusalem. The church inside has a small well with water that locals believe brings good luck.

The visitor who climbs the approximately 700 steps will be compensated by the stunning view. Across to the left we can see the Medieval castle, in the background Mount Parnassos, to the right the stone theater, below the gorge formed by the Xirias stream and in the background the city of Livadeia and the plain of Kopaida.

In the area it is believed that during the Middle Byzantine period many ascetics lived in the steep cliffs and caves of the area. During the years of the Revolution against the Turks, this difficult to reach chapel was a refuge for locals and the den of the hero Odysseus Androutsos.
