The unique church of Akathistos Hymnos

It was built in 1861 and is located in the Old Town of Xanthi. Its name is unique in Greece with the exception of some chapels. The church has burned down twice, in 1912 and in 1991.

Its style is a three-aisled basilica with 12 columns supporting the dome. These columns make the church unique. At the top of each one there is an icon of one of the twelve Apostles.
