Athens Metropolitan Church is located in the historical center of Athens, Metropolis Avenue. It is a special place for the celebration of the Virgin Mary. This Christian church was built between 1842 and 1862. The original architectural drawings were drawn by Theophilus Hansen, but later on, Dr. Zepos's advice was adopted and the Greco-Byzantine style was followed. Finally, the Byzantine traditional style of the church was well integrated with the classical elements of Europe.
