72. Holy Trinity Chapel
Brief documentation:
In the parking lot that now exists in the area there used to be a large two-storey house, owned by someone named Meraklis, according to oral testimonies. This house was the residence of the metropolitan for a short time, until the damaged metropolitan palace was repaired.
In the courtyard of this house there was a Chapel of the Holy Trinity. Today in the same area, which belongs to the opposite church of the Akathist Hymn and is a private parking lot, there is a newer chapel also dedicated to the Holy Trinity.
The Chapel of the Holy Trinity is a small, one-room building. It has a gabled roof with tiles, which extends to the west to house an outdoor introductory space. Small windows open on the sides of the building. The apse of the altar protrudes to the east and has a separate, lower roof. The chapel is surrounded by a guardrail.
The Chapel of the Holy Trinity is located at 18 Vyronos Street, in the courtyard of a privately owned residence, which today has been demolished and a few parts of it are preserved in ruins.
