Agia Kyriaki - Athens - Greece - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

Agia Kyriaki

It is located at Athena Street, no. 28. It is small, dimensioned 11m*3,50m, single-aisled basilica. On the north and south side it has a low blind arch. Its erection dates back to the Ottoman times. Later the southern arc was opened, and so the church communicates with a newer addition. Later is the large window of the northern side.

The wall paintings of the Temple are younger, unfortunately unknown, experienced hagiographer. They are distinguished for their technique and themes. We mention, on the southern side, the twelve frescoes inspired by the Creed ("I believe ...") and the eight of the Sunday prayer ("Our Father"), and on the north side those inspired from the twenty-four houses of the Akathistos Hymn.

According to tradition, the church of Agia Kyriaki was a cemetery temple, which existed between it and Pantanassa (Monastiraki). This may be the case with the newer mural of the Future Crisis
