Omorfokklisia is a Byzantine church located in the Galatsi municipal area north of Athens. The structure displays characteristic medieval features such as domes and stone arches typical of this architectural period.

The structure was built around 1200 during the medieval Byzantine period. It has endured through centuries of urban growth and change across the greater Athens region.

The church reflects medieval religious design and draws visitors curious about the architectural traditions of Byzantine times. Its appearance tells a story about how people built places of worship centuries ago.

The church sits in the northern suburbs of Athens and can be reached by public transportation. Allow time to walk around the surrounding neighborhood to get a feel for the area.
