The church of St Dionysius dated from the 13th century, and possesses a fine screen and a ciborium of 1486.
The origin of the ciborium is not certain, but it is represented in a mosaic at Thessalonica of a date not later than A.D.
This baldachin, called liturgically the ciborium, is sometimes hung from the roof by chains in such a way that it can be lowered or raised; sometimes it is fixed to the wall or reredos; sometimes it is a solid structure of wood covered with metal or of marble supported on four columns.
