Pantanassa church, Eastern Orthodox church in Monastiraki, Greece
The Pantanassa church stands at the intersection of Ermou, Athinas, and Mitropoleos streets, facing the Monastiraki metro station in central Athens.
Built in the tenth century, this religious structure began as the Great Monastery before becoming known as Monastiraki, which influenced the name of the surrounding district.
The church maintains Orthodox traditions through its collection of religious artifacts, including the holy icons of Saint Panteleimon from 1836 and Saint Thekla.
The church remains open to visitors who can observe the Byzantine architecture, light candles, and participate in religious services throughout the year.
One third of the church structure lies below ground level, featuring ancient Greek capitals integrated into its four corners.
