  Panaghia is a small Byzantine church situated in the old town centre of Rossano, a frazione of Corigliano-Rossano, Calabria, southern Italy.
  
  ## Etymology
  
  "Panagia" derives from the ancient Greek pan- (whole) and ághios (holy), meaning "All-Holy". Since the church was built in the honor of Maria Tutta Santa, Panaghia would be best translated as "All Saint".
  
  ## Description
  
  The church was built in the 11th century; it has got just one nave and an apse with a mullioned window. Inside the church, there are two frescoes: one picturing Basil of Caesarea and the other (14th century) John Chrysostom.
  
  ## History
  
  In October 2017, the Panaghia church exhibited images from the Connected Open Heritage, a project led by Wikimedia Italia in collaboration with Wikimedia Sweden and UNESCO.
