THE CHURCH OF THE HOLY APOSTLES, ATHENS, GREECE - View # 2
The Church of the Holy Apostles, also known as Holy Apostles of Solaki, is found in the Ancient Agora, and can be dated to around the late 10th century.
The church is particularly significant as the only monument in the Agora, other than the Temple of Hephaestus, to survive intact since its foundation, and for its architecture: it was the first significant church of the middle Byzantine period in Athens, and marks the beginning of the so-called "Athenian type", successfully combining the simple four-pier with the cross-in-square forms.
