The landmark church of the Mytilene waterfront, begun in 1850 to designs by the architect Argyris Adalis, built on a domed cross-in-circle plan with Gothic detailing on the exterior and five domes, the central one sheathed in tin. Its exterior ornamentation is by the artist Nikolaos Kessanlis and the interior woodwork by Dimitrios Kovalas; the Church History and Byzantine Museum stands on the square opposite.
