Church of the Holy Trinity, Athens, Byzantine church on Filellinon Street, Athens, Greece.

The Church of the Holy Trinity features a substantial dome supported by an octagonal base, incorporating traditional Byzantine cross-in-square architectural elements within its structure.

The church foundations date back to 1031, with significant reconstruction occurring between 1850 and 1855 under the supervision of Major T. Vlasopoulos.

German artist Ludwig Thiersch created the interior frescoes during the mid-19th century restoration, collaborating with Greek painters Nikiforos Lytras and Spyridon Hatzigiannopoulos.

The church remains the largest Byzantine religious structure in Athens, serving the Russian Orthodox community with regular services and ceremonial functions.

The exterior walls display pseudo-Kufic decorative patterns, sharing architectural similarities with other medieval churches throughout Athens.
