The sanctuary of Messon is located at "Koukala" or "kokkala" of the Messa region, at the rural area of Agia Paraskevi in Lesbos. In antiquity it was situated at the north boundaries of the territory of the ancient city of Pyrra and in the middle (centre) of the island of Lesbos with its name "Messon" originating from the Aeolic type of the word. The octastyle, pseudo-dipteral, ionic temple of the second half of the 4th century b.C. has integrated the archaic devotional building and its supplementary buildings. In the 3rd-4rth century A.D. the temple is destroyed, its architectural members smached and calcified in the kilns that were built adjacent to and around the temple.

The basilica of the early Christian period is built on the floor of the late classical temple, while the cult continues at the same spot until today, where the post Byzantine church (naiskos) of Taxiarches is found. The Christian temples always had a cemetery by which is evident by the xcavated tombs found on he floor of the ancient temple and the surrounding area.

"Αt the sanctuary situated in the middle of the island" the four cities of Lesbos, Mytilene, Methymna, Antissa and Eressus come together and take a common decision :for the augmentation and the union of the Lesbians:, according to an inscription dated around 200-167 B.C. In Messon, judges from Miletus come to resolve the differences of the two cities of Lesbos: Mythimna and Eressos.

The panlesbian temple of Messon seems to share the same fate with the Koinon (commonwealth) of Lesbians from the archaic period until the 2nd century A.D.. This is the sanctuary identified with the "large temenos that can be seen from afar, for all the Lesbians" mentioned by the Lesbian poet Alcaeus. At this temple the Lesbians have established the altars dedicated to the "Immortal Blessed Gods" to Zus Antiaos (the Suppliant), to "the Aeolian Mistress, famed mother of all ", identified with HERA and to the "Kemelion", Omophage Dionysus", the so called Lesbian Triad. The same poet informs us about the annual celebrations and the beauty contests that took place at the temple.

The union of the five cities of Lesvos (Mytilene, Mythimna, Antissa, Eressos and Pyrra) especially during the period of the island;s liberation by Alexander the Great is expressed with the erection of a very important monument at the centre of the island, in Messon.  In the beginning of 2nd century B.C. the temenos became more than a devotional place; It was also the seat of the Lesbian Koinon (Commonwealth), as well as th meeting point of the island and the place for exchanging ideas. In those years, the temple of Messon unites the Lesbians under religious, political, military and judiciary institutions.

The ionic temple of Messon is one of the most important monuments of Lesbos. From the ancient temple only the foundations remain, with the interior of the crepida's tiers, while the niche of the temple of the early Christian basilica, along with the post-Byzantine church (naiskos) of Taxiarches can also be seen. The brittle material of the foundations' stones led the archaeologists to take immediate measures to protect it by covering it with a protective plaster.

The palaeo-christian temple of Chalinados was built in 550 - 600 a.C. The temple consists of three aisles and a narthex. The main temple is square with an arch at the east side.

The aisles are separated with two rows of columns with anaglyph capitals.
