 Mitropoli by grkboiler
The church has been used for coronations, and the weddings and funerals of famous Athenians. The bodies of 2 saints murdered by the Ottoman Turks are located inside, along with some beautiful icons and decorations. The exterior in front of the main entrance is decorated with mosaics.

 The little Mitropolis by Pieter11
Above the entrance there is an old frieze, made in the 4th century B.C. It used to show the Panathinaic Games, but because christians later places crosses over this frieze, there isnīt hardly anything left of this sculpture.
The only remaining sculpture is a scene showing a boat that is being carried, during the procession. In this boat the dress, that was offered to the goddess Athena, was kept. Although there is a part visible, also here is placed a cross over the biggest part of the image. Leave a Comment Address: Mitropoleos Square

 Church of Panaghia
Gorgoepikoos by Polly74
It was initially called "Little Metropolis", it was dedicated to Panaghia Gorgoepikoos and belonged to the episcopal mansion of Athens. In the 17th century it was referred to as both "Gorgoepikoos" and "Catholicon". In 1841 it housed the public library of Athens and in 1863 it was dedicated to Aghios Eleutherios.
The walls of the church are entirely constructed of large, ancient Greek, Roman, early Byzantine marble blocks and relief plaques, without bricks. The reliefs, ninety in total, are mostly used on the upper section of the walls, resulting in a unique, for a Christian church, decoration. The dome is the only part built in the typical cloisonne masonry. Leave a Comment
