Greek Orthodox Church of San Nicola

The Greek Orthodox Church of San Nicola was built in Brindisi at the beginning of the 20th century thanks to the subscriptions of the faithful and the authoritative contribution of Tsar Alexander III.\n\nToday it is a point of reference for communities in Southern Italy belonging to the Holy Archdiocese of Italy and Malta of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.\n\nNot far from the railway station, the church overlooks via Indipendenza with its Neo-Gothic lines and a bell tower embellished with triforia. The interior is a single nave and, in 1987, it was restored and enriched with works by the Hellenic painter Crità.\n\nOn the apse stands the image of the Virgin Platitera and, below, one can admire Saint Basil, Saint John Chrysostom, and Saint Gregory Nazianzenes.\n\nToday the Parish of San Nicola di Myra welcomes faithful from Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria and Sicily and the Divine Liturgy is held on the first and third Sundays of each month.
