Also called as Agii Apostoli, the Holy Apostles church in Athens dates back to 10th century. Located in the Ancient Agora, this church has contributed heavily to the development of Byzantine architecture in Greece. The church follows the plan of a Greek cross (a cross with equal arms), with a narthex on the west side. There is a dome that rests on four pillars in the central crossing. Due to its style of architecture, this dome enjoys the status of being the oldest example of the "Athenian type" of Byzantine dome in the city.

Also, this church has seen a history of ravages as it was heavily damaged during the war over Athens between the Ottomans and Venetians around 1687. However, it was in the 18th century that it was reconstructed for public view.
