Sotira Lykodimou Church (Russian Church) Review

The church is in the centre of the city. It stands tall and has been preserved for a long time.

This Byzantine church, constructed in the 11th century, is the largest medieval building in Athens. It was purchased by the Russian government in 1847, restored, and made the parish church for the Russian Orthodox community. Locals call it the "Russian Church." Its octagonal dome is unique in Byzantine design, and features the usual image of Christ as Pantocrator ("ruler of all") looking down from above. The decor is quite interesting with Arabic writing and works by German painter Ludwig Thiersch. There is also a tall bell tower.

Outside it does not seem to be an orthodox church, as the cebble form of the upper bowls is not appreciated, but just come in to see a fascinating place with many luxury details. This place has been forgotten for many years until the Russian Orthodox Church has put the money to restore it completely.

The hotel is a very nice city centre, and it is a very nice city centre. It is known as the Russian Orthodox Church, in fact the Orthodox Church of that country has contributed to its restoration and maintenance. It is a very good painting outwards, but once you enter, you're surprised with fresh painted on the roofs that are a real art work.
