The church was built in the mid-16th century. It used to be the central mosque in the named after Ibrahim Pasha. It was converted into an Orthodox church in 1926. In 1945 it was inaugurated and dedicated to Agios Nikolaos (St. Nicholas).
The facade retains the Islamic style, even though it features a bell tower at the base of the old minaret. Later, the chapels of Ioannis Chrysostomos and Dimitrios were added; as a result, the church has three aisles. In the surrounding area of the church, a monument was built in memory of St Paul's arrival in Europe. Paul was also the founder of the local Church.
