What I can see

The 1839 church was probably designed by Eduard Schaubert, but it is not the one we see today, as it was much smaller. The repairs of 1896 shaped the neoclassical facade we see today and in 1971, 2 aisles were added and the entire church, except for the facade, was completely remodeled. The pediment, the columns of Corinthian order and the two bell towers stand out.

What I can't see

During the 1834-1837 period, the Catholic residents of Piraeus, most of them foreigners, prayed in a chapel of Markettis Mansion and the priest came from Athens. Very soon, the land was bought by the Catholic community and the church was built.
