Description:
If you are ever lucky enough to visit the Greek town of Piraeus, then be sure to visit one of its main attractions - the Church of the Holy Trinity. It is a huge luxury structure made in the Baroque style, the main decorations of which are the marble iconostasis and marble bell towers.
Particularly popular among tourists is the turret, rising in the right wing of the building. It is a real work of art - a two-tiered arched structure topped with a decorative dome with a cross. The monastery was founded on the site of an ancient wooden temple at the expense and initiative of local authorities. In 1856, the church became a parish church, and services and liturgies were often held here.
In 1905 there was a fire that caused enormous damage. The monastery was restored for a long time, in 1923 another small building was built to it, where the church library was located. Nowadays, the Church of the Holy Trinity pleases tourists with its luxurious appearance, as well as rich interior decoration.
