Church of Agios Dimitrios Loumbardiaris
Made by J o h n
The tiny church of Agios Dimitrios Loumbardiaris, on the Filopappou Hill, was built in the 16th century. In 1648, a Turkish garrison attempted to fire cannon on Christians gathered at the Byzantine church but the gunners were killed by lightening. The church was therefore named (in Greek) 'Saint Dimitri the Bombadier'. 067

St. Dimitrios Loumpardiaris Church in the center of Athens. Its resemblance of a village chapel should come at no surprise given Athens' modern history. When the newly independent Kingdom of Greece chose Athens as her capital, the city was virtually uninhabited, with a total population less than 5,000.
