Church of Agios Eleftherios

Standing in the shadow of the newer and much larger cathedral, this tiny church is one of the finest of the city’s Byzantine churches. Dating to the 12th century, it is constructed primarily of large, ancient Pentelic marble blocks, decorated on the exterior with bas-relief plaques, some of which date to the 4th century BC.
