The Agios Nikolaos/Serapheim church in Athens




Churches in Athens


Agios Nikolaos/Serapheim
(Saint Nicholas/Serapheim)




The remains of the church of Saint Nicholas can be found at the foot of the northern side of the Acropolis, after the Agraulos cave and close to Theorias Street (opposite the Kanellopoulos Museum). According to legend, this church used to be called Saint Nicholas Paravas although it has been called Saint Serapheim since 1833.

Judging by the church’s foundations it was a cross-in-square type church which would have been unique in this area during the Ottoman rule.
