Panaghia Kapnikaréa church

Image 10 of 16

Arranging a small square that opens to a only pedestrian section of the Ermoú Street, the Panaghia Kapnikaréa church is a delightful place to visit and a place you will probably pass.This church is a splendid example of architecture from the 19th-century Byzantine era and a strong contrast with the modern architecture that surrounds it.It was saved from demolitions in the 19th century by the intervention of King Ludwig I of Bavaria.In the twelfth century, the church was improved with a graceful entrance porch and a four-pediment (built on the western end).Inside, the church is decorated with paintings from the 19th century created in the iconographic style of the middle Byzantine period
