  • Sunday Mass at the Metropolitan Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Athens
    Athens Metropolitan Cathedral Organizational Info The Metropolitan Cathedral is dedicated to the Annunciation of the Mother of God, but is colloquially known only as the “Metropolis.” It is the cathedral church of the Archbishopric of Athens, which is the senior diocese, or episcopal jurisdiction, in Greece and the primary seat of the Orthodox Church of Greece. As an autocephalous (independent, but in communion) Orthodox Church, the Church of Greece’s highest position does not directly report to any other authority. The position is dubbed the Archbishop of Athens and All Greece. The archbishop seat in Athens is currently held by Ieronymos II, who was elected in 2008. In addition to regular liturgical services, the cathedral is the site of many important services and ceremonies and is considered a major city landmark. Construction The first plans were drafted by the same Danish architect who constructed the Academy of Athens and the National Library, Theophil Hansen. In order to build the church, marble was gathered form 72 different demolished churches and brought to the site in Athens. The cornerstone was laid by King Otto and Queen Amalia in December 1842; construction was completed in May 1862. Building was briefly interrupted early on due to financial struggles. However, after the return of the project, it was taken over by Dimitrios Zezos. After Zezos’ death, the construction was completed by French architect Francois Boulanger. The building is a three-aisled, domed basilica. The cathedral was constructed directly beside a 15th century Byzantine church, commonly known as the “Little Mitropoli,” dedicated to Saint Eleutherios. The church suffered damages from two earthquakes and was supported for decades by scaffolding.

Albani Abstract: This article addresses attitudes towards the medieval past of Athens from modern to postmodern times. Athens, a symbol of classical civilisation, had become a provincial Byzantine centre. From the proclamation of Athens in 1833 as the capital of the modern Greek state to about 1880, archaeological research in Athens focused on classical antiquities at the expense of the preservation of monuments of the Middle Ages, which was regarded as a period of decline. The historical and artistic value ofA thenian medieval monuments has been acknowledged since the late nineteenth century. The international progress of Byzantine studies, the national narrative on the continuity of Greek history, the political concept of the Megali Idea (“Great Idea”), and contemporary state policies based on “diachrony and synergy” contributed to this significant ideological shift.A thens is, however, still renowned and admired worldwide

Classical Athens, its culture, and its monuments inspired, to a large extent, the government's initial architectural direction. As time went on, how- ever, a more complex combination of internal and external influences came to define the political, social, and cultural orientation of the new nation. Focusing on the major architectural production and its concomitant theo- retical framework during the first century after liberation, it is my aim here to examine the shifting definitions of national Greek architecture within t}e context of these historical parameters. This examination reveals close parallels between the development of a national architectural ideol- ory and identity, on the one hand, and the broader construction of a na- tional cultural image on the other.
