The Church of Saints Constantine and Helena is one of the main attractions of the city of Piraeus. It was built in the early XVIII century and is a luxurious Baroque structure that impresses guests and residents of the city with its luxurious appearance. The first thing that catches the eye is the majestic facade decorated with large arched windows and stucco.
The entrance to the monastery is decorated with two high columns, and the top of the building is crowned with a cross. On both sides of it are placed symmetrical bell towers, which begin to ring three times a week after lunch.
