One of Athens’ greatest pleasures is walking down the crowded Ermou street and suddenly finding yourself face-to-face with a tiny, centuries-old monument in the midst of all the modernity. It is a Greek Orthodox Church one of the oldest churches in Athens. It is estimated that the church was built sometime in the 11th century over an ancient Greek pagan temple dedicated to the worship of a goddess, possibly Athena or Demetra.

Gracing a little square that opens onto Ermoú Street, the Panaghia Kapnikaréa Church is a delightful place to visit. This beautiful little church was saved from demolition in the 19th century by the intervention of King Ludwig I of Bavaria. The church is a splendid example of architecture from the 11th-century Byzantine era. During this period, domed cruciform churches such as this one were typical. In the 12th century, the church was enhanced with a graceful entrance portico and a narthex featuring four pediments (built onto the western end). Inside, the church is decorated with 19th-century paintings created in the iconographic style of the Middle Byzantine period.
