In Plaka I discovered this impressive church. According to research, it was built in the 11th century, but has of course been repeatedly restored over time. It offers an interesting sight with its towers. Reason enough to take a photo and upload it here as a highlight.

At Kydathinaion street, at the centre of Plaka, is the Byzantine church of the Metamorphosis of Sotera (Transfiguration of Christ), which is known as the church of Sotera Kottakis, a name that is related to its founder.

It was constructed in the beginning of the 11th century, and it has a characteristic cloisonné masonry and a dome of the “Athenian” type. At the interior of the church there are wall paintings from the 18th and the 19th century, while at its small garden survives a marble fountain of the 17th century and scattered ancient architectural members.
