Church of Pantokrator, Patras, Protected church building in Upper Town, Patras, Greece.
The Church of Pantokrator features multiple domes covered in copper and stands as a three-aisled basilica in the eastern section of Patras.
The site transformed from an ancient temple of Zeus to a Christian church around 900 AD, later becoming a mosque before its current structure was built in 1835.
The church design incorporates elements similar to Hagia Sophia, with external vault alignments that distinguish it from other Greek Orthodox churches in the region.
Located at coordinates 38.243071, 21.740386, the church remains open to visitors who wish to explore its architectural features and religious significance.
The lead from the building's dome was used to create bullets during the Greek War of Independence against Ottoman forces in 1821.
