Information: The Cathedral Basilica of St. Dionysius the Areopagite is the main Roman Catholic church of Athens, Greece, and the seat of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Athens. It is located in central Athens, at the junction of Panepistimiou Avenue with Omirou Street and is dedicated to Saint Dionysius the Areopagite, disciple of the Apostle Saint Paul and the first bishop of Athens.

Review: As a member of the youth of the Holy Catholic Catherdral of Saint Denis the Aeropagite, I love the style of this church, it has a neoclassical style of the church which is built at the behest of King Otto of Greece. There are masses in four languages (Greek, Latin, English, Tagalog (Filipino)). The English Mass occurs every 6.30 pm until 7.30 pm. I woukd definitely recommend visiting this church of you're a Roman catholic tourist. There's a large filipino community in this church but there is also other ethnicities as well (Polish, Greek, Vietnamese etc.). I would like to thank the priest for keeping the community alive as well. God bless this church, the community,...

The Cathedral is a very elegant and beautiful church in Athens. The entrance has solid old marble stairs that immediately give a sense of history and dignity. I was able to attend Catholic Mass here twice, once in Greek and once in English. Even though I didn’t understand the one in Greek, the mass very solemn and reverent. The church has marble borders along the walls, columns, and remarkable Holy paintings that feel like stepping into history. The kneeling pads are high, which is very convenient because it keeps my shoes from scratching against the floor. It's wonderful place in Athens to attend Mass, so peaceful. Mass schedule are: Sunday 7:30 AM, 9:30 AM in Greek, 11:00 AM in Latin with an English homily, and 6:30 PM in English. Weekday 7:30 AM, 6:30 PM in Greek. Saturday 7:30 AM Greek and 6:30...

La cattedrale di San Dionigi l'Areopagita si trova ad Atene ed è la sede vescovile dell'arcidiocesi cattolica della capitale ellenica. Elevata al rango di basilica minore nel 1877, è la prima e unica chiesa cattolica in Grecia a ricevere tale nomina. Qui furono tenute il 14 maggio del 1962 le nozze tra il re di Spagna Juan Carlos I e la Regina Sofia. Individuato nel 1847 dalla comunità cattolica di Atene, il terreno su cui costruire la chiesa, nel 1853 fu posata la prima pietra dell'edificio disegnato in stile neo-rinascimentale dell'architetto tedesco Leo von Klenze. Solo nell'agosto del 1865 la chiesa fu terminata con il lavoro dell'architetto greco Lyssandros Kaftantzoglou, che lavorò senza alcuna remunerazione. L'edificio, comunque, fu poi modificato agli inizi del XX secolo, restaurata nel 1960 e ancora una volta nel 1998. Lunga 38 metri, larga 24 e alta 15, la chiesa presenta una facciata principale che si ispira alla chiesa abbaziale di San Bonifacio a Monaco di Baviera. La chiesa, a tre navate, presenta le linee architettoniche semplici del classicismo ateniese. Il pavimento è in marmo pentelico e il tetto è sostenuto da 12 colonne di marmo verde dell'isola Tino. Riccamente affrescata, interessante l'Apoteosi di San Dionigi l'Areopagita (1890) del pittore italiano Guglielmo Bilancioni nelle semicupole dell'arco trionfale, e il Cristo Pantocratore di fronte all'arco. Negli angoli adiacenti, a destra, Mosè che tiene una pergamena e, a sinistra, Davide che suona l'arpa, sotto San Gregorio Magno e Sant'Agostino. Ai lati dell'altare maggiore, sono collocati due pulpiti in marmo (1869), donati dall'imperatore Francesco Giuseppe I. Il coro (1988), con l'organo in alto, è opera dell'architetto Paul Chambaut. Le otto vetrate (1890), collocate nella parte inferiore della chiesa, sono state realizzate da Karl de Bouchet. A destra rappresentano Sant'Amalia, papa Sisto II, papa Telesforo e Sant'Atanasio di Alessandria; a sinistra Sant'Otto, papa Antero, papa Anacleto e San Giovanni Crisostomo, patriarca di...

Attendance to European Sea Scouting Seminar in Athens, Greece was an opportunity to go back to the center of this amazing city to explore it and discover new landmarks. Near the Parliament we found the Catholic Cathedral Basilica of St. Dionysius the Areopagite. It was close to 7:30am and we had the blessing of attending this early morning Mass. After Mass we were able to visit the inside of the Cathedral, altar, chapels, and images. #Eurosea2022Greece #ChurchesWeKnow #Abuelosmochileros_Athens

Very beautiful Catholic Church in the center of Athens. The construction of the building was started on 1853 based on plans of Leo von Klenze, but during the construction the plans changed many times. On 1865 the church serviced, however the building was uncompleted. The vitraux were created at Munich on the century of 1890. It is located a few meters of Panepistinio metro station. Worth a visit.
