Church of the Taxiarchs, Cunda

The Church of the Taxiarchs features three naves, a narthex, Corinthian columns, and a freestanding belfry topped with decorative elements.

Built in 1844 as a Greek Orthodox cathedral, this structure remained unused for worship and underwent complete renovation into a museum in 2013.

The interior displays numerous 18th-century religious icons in the apse area, along with a marble bishop's seat decorated with carved pelican motifs.

Located on Mareşal Fevzi Çakmak Street, the museum welcomes visitors throughout the week and offers guided tours explaining the building's architectural features.

The church's interior combines Eastern Orthodox and Neoclassical painting styles, featuring golden grape patterns and imitation marble surfaces throughout its spaces.
