Panagia Chrysospiliotissa, Eastern Orthodox church in central Athens, Greece.
The Panagia Chrysospiliotissa church exhibits an eclectic architectural style, combining neoclassical elements with Byzantine features and marble decorations throughout its structure.
The original basilica from 1705 was destroyed in 1826 during the siege of the Acropolis, leading to construction of a new church in 1863.
The church celebrates the feast of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary on August 15th, drawing Orthodox faithful from across Athens for special services.
Located on Aiolou Street in the commercial center of Athens, the church remains open for visitors and worshippers throughout regular daytime hours.
The church name derives from either the Monastery of Mega Spileo's contribution or from a replica of a monastery icon of the Virgin Mary.
