Cathedral of St. Andrew the First-Called

Saint Andrew of Patras
Greece, Peloponnese
The Cathedral of St. Andrew the First-Called is an Orthodox cathedral in the city of Patras on the Peloponnese peninsula, a shrine of the entire Christian world. Located on the alleged site of the crucifixion of St. Andrew the First-Called. It is the largest Orthodox church in Greece and the second largest in the Balkans.

The Cathedral of St. Andrew the First-Called was built in the neo-Byzantine style and gives the impression of a solid, massive building. It is located in the center of a large area planted with trees and has the shape of a Greek cross in plan. Its distinguishing feature is the abundance of light, the light pours through the large windows of the facades and the drum of the central dome. The interior of the temple impresses with an abundance of mosaics.
