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.
