Church of the Pantanassa - Athens, Greece - Wikipedia Entries on Waymarking.com

Wikipedia (visit link) informs us:

The Church of the Pantanassa ...or of the Dormition of the Theotokos ...is the 10th-century katholikon of a now-vanished monastery in Monastiraki Square, between Athinas and Mitropoleos streets, facing the Monastiraki station, in central Athens, Greece. The church was known as the Great Monastery, and then later as monastiraki ("little monastery"), which eventually became the name of the whole area."

and this website (visit link) indicates that the original church was probably built in the 11th century. The contemporary church is from the 17th century. It served as the metochion of the monastery of Kaissariani. It became a women's monastery and the square is now known as Monastiraki.
