Church of Kapnikarea

It is a Greek Orthodox church and one of the oldest churches in Athens. Built on the ruins of an ancient temple. It was founded at the beginning of the eleventh century. The walls of the church are built in the classical construction made of kilsononi and decorated with very small ornaments of kufic bricks, along with the mosaics above the entrance, and the wonderfully beautiful domes. The church contains amazing frescoes dating back to 1955 and bearing the signature of writer and painter Fotis Kontoglou. The church is also one of the main important historical monuments.
