Athens Greece
Greek Orthodox
The Almshouse of Athens, founded by the "Merciful Society, was built in 1876. The Neo-Byzantine church was built inside the almshouse complex and is all that remains. The church, on Vassillsis Sofias Street, was formally transferred to the Ecumenical Patriarchate. The Church of Saint Nicholas of the Ecumenical Patriarchate’s office in Athens, is the official headquarters of the Patriarchate in Athens.
