Pinsteps. The Church of Saint Spyridon, Athens
Places to visit in Athens. Languages: en

Up and left there is a hidden gem in Athens. The Church of Saint Spyridon and Holy Belt of the Virgin Mary in the densely populated area around Lyssiou street in Athens is a fascinating piece of history. The church dated back to the 16th-17th century and was originally a three-aisled basilica. During the opening up of Lyssiou street, the church was rebuilt, and its northern aisle was removed. The exact location of the church has a rich history, as there was once an altar of Bacchus on the same site in ancient times. Visitors are often surprised to find this historical church amidst the surrounding houses, making it a hidden gem in the city.
