The St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church (explored)
Manhattan, New York.
St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine, is a church and shrine in the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan designed by Santiago Calatrava. St. Nicholas replaced the original church of the same name that was destroyed during the September 11 attacks in 2001—the only building outside the original World Trade Center complex, to be completely destroyed. The building takes the form of a circular domed church flanked by four towers, referencing the great Byzantine churches of Hagia Sophia and the Church of the Holy Savior in Chora, both in Istanbul.
