Presentation of the Virgin Mary Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Athinagora Square, Chania, Greece

The cathedral features three separate aisles, with the central aisle dedicated to the Virgin Mary, flanked by aisles honoring the Three Hierarchs and Saint Nicholas.

Built between 1850 and 1860 during Ottoman rule, the cathedral stands on a site where a small church existed since the eleventh century.

The cathedral exhibits works by nineteenth-century Cretan icon painters, including Antonios Revelakis and Antonios Vivilakis, along with silver-covered icons by local artisans.

Located in the old town of Chania, the cathedral maintains regular services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its religious and architectural elements.

The cathedral's bell was donated by the Tsar of Russia following restoration works after damage sustained during the Greco-Turkish war of 1897.
