Church Agia Triada, Piraeus, Greece - a photo on Flickriver

            The church of the Holy Trinity is located in the centre of Piraeus overlooking the port.It stands imposing on the junction of EthnikisAntistaseos and V. Georgios Street, two busy main roads.The first church of the Holy Trinity was founded in 1839, but it was entirely destroyed in 1944.

It was replaced by an extempore small church to accommodate the believers, which stood there for 12 years.Eventually, after the claims of the plot by the municipality and the objections of the Archaeological Association due to the findings, the temple was founded again in 1956 and was inaugurated 8 years later, while the construction works of the church were still in progress.Its architecture and the iconographies are particularly interesting.

The support of the dome makes it visible from every spot of the church, while the figures of the iconographies are characterized by intense humane features, inspired by the Macedonian and Cretan school.
