Saint Nicola's church, Ottoman-style church in Kavala, Greece.

Saint Nicola's Church features one central dome, constructed with brick and stone materials, accompanied by a bell tower on the former minaret foundation.

Originally built in 1530 as Ibrahim Pasha Mosque during Ottoman rule, the structure underwent conversion to a Christian church in the 1920s.

The eastern wall displays a mural depicting Apostle Paul's arrival at Kavala's port, connecting the building to early Christian history in Macedonia.

The church maintains regular services within the Metropolis of Philippi, Neapolis, and Thasos, located at coordinates 40.936111, 24.413333.

Archaeological findings reveal an Early Christian basilica beneath the current structure, with remnants visible in the Bema of the Apostle Paul.
