# Church of Panagia Kapnikarea

Athens, Greece

A small eleventh-century Byzantine church marooned in the middle of busy Ermou Street, its domed cross-in-square form among the oldest in Athens. Slated for demolition in the nineteenth century, it was spared and now anchors the city's main shopping thoroughfare.
