Overview

The church was built in the beginning of the 19th century and was completed in 1935. The architect was the native of Lesbos, Argyris Adalis, a student of Ernst Ziller. The architectural order follows the cross-in-square type; however, the monument constitutes an eclectic combination of elements from contemporary architectural trends that prevailed in the Western Europe, including Baroque Revival, Rococo Revival, Neoclassic, and Gothic Revival elements, adding an impressiveness and a distinctive style to the monument.[1]
