Peristeria Village is 28 km east of Drama. The mosque of the village, where 8-10 households live today, is registered in the Ev. K.K. and was converted into a church after the population exchange (1923). The building was constructed of stone walls and has a rectangular plan measuring approximately 7x11 m on the outside. After it was converted into a church, the mihrab was removed and the apse was added to the qibla façade in a protruding form, the roof of the mosque was broken and a gable roof was made and the architectural features were changed by making a single sloping eaves resting on four columns at the entrance of the mosque. The bell tower is located to the left of the entrance door. In the mosque, which has two rows of windows on the facades, it is seen that the windows were not closed, unlike other works converted into churches.
