The Church Evangelismos is located next to Mandraki Harbor. Built in 1925, during the Italian occupation, it is a magnificent example of Gothic architecture. The decoration elements are all carved from the local, very characteristic sand stone.
Originally a Catholic church dedicated to Agios Ioannis, a three-aisled basilica of Gothic order. It later became an Orthodox church.
"In the harbor, near the place where the Colossus of Rhodes was, lies the vast and imposing Evangelismos tis Theotokou church (The Annunciation of the Virgin Mary), in Eleftheria Square. At first, it operated as a Catholic church dedicated to Agios Ioannis and then became an Orthodox church. Moreover, it is a three-aisled basilica of Gothic order and at its right side has a square bell tower."

"Evangelismos tis Theotokou (The Annunciation of the Virgin Mary) church is located in Eleftherias square on the port’s western side in Mandraki. It used to be St. John’s Catholic church and today is an orthodox church dedicated to the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary. It is a copy of St. John’s the Baptist church in Collakio.It is a three-aisled gothic basilica with a wooden roof in which the byzantine and gothic elements blend in with the characteristics of a type often appearing in Syria (when Syria was under the Franks occupation).
The temple remains immutable on the outside while the interior was adjusted to the needs of the Orthodox denomination in 1947. The frescos were made by the byzantine hagiographer Fotis Kontoglou and his two assistants Ioannis Terzis and Pantelis Odambasis (1951- 1961 A.D.)."
