Churches in Athens

Agia Zoni
(Saint Spyridon and Holy Belt of Virgin Mary)

 


In the densely populated area around Lyssiou street, visitors are surprised when they come across the Church of Saint Spyridon and Holy Belt of Virgin Mary as it is not easily visible among all the houses.

The 16th-17th century church was initially a three aisled basilica. It was rebuilt after the opening up of Lyssiou street and its northern aisle was removed. In ancient times there was an altar of Bacchus on the same site.
