Greek Orthodox Church of San Nicolò dei Greci, Neoclassical Greek Orthodox church in Trieste, Italy.
The Greek Orthodox Church of San Nicolò dei Greci is a neoclassical prayer house in Trieste featuring a classical facade, columns, and a central dome. Its interior is adorned with detailed religious iconography that covers the walls and altar areas.
Architect Matteo Pertsch completed construction in 1784, marking the establishment of Greek Orthodox presence in northern Italy. This founding reflected the growing presence of Greek trading communities in the port city.
The church preserves Eastern Orthodox traditions through its iconostasis, decorated with gold and silver elements that separate the choir from the nave. This ornately crafted screen holds deep religious meaning for worshippers who gather here.
The building opens its doors for regular services, celebrations, and guided visits in a central location near Trieste's waterfront. When planning a visit, keep in mind that access may be limited during prayer times.
Inside the single-nave structure, visitors can discover an art collection by Efstathios Karousos that adds artistic depth to the space. These works come from a gifted artist who was connected to the city's Greek community.
