Greece is indeed full of churches, large temples, and chapels in the most strange places. Each one is unique and some of them require special approaches, such as by boat or by taking a long hike. There is also a special Greek church that is considered one of the most unusual in the world. The images speak for themselves and you can see why it’s so special. It’s called Agia Fotini and it’s located in the valley of Ancient Mantineia in the Peloponnese. It’s a true architectural gem that you can easily visit and form your own opinion on.

The Greek church is one of the most unusual in the world

Agia Fotini is considered one of the most unique churches in the world due to its special architectural design that does not resemble any other building. It combines elements of ancient Greece with the Christian spirit in a strange way and cannot be classified in any particular architecture. The church was designed by Costas Papatheodorou who is an architect and painter.

Agia Fotini Mantineia is a temple located opposite the archaeological site of Mantineia in Arcadia. It is a unique creation that does not have a typical way of construction and combines Byzantine elements with other ancient rhythms in a special way. It has been described as one of the most strange churches in the world and has stood out worldwide as a building.

The church was commissioned by the Mantineian Association and was designed by Costas Papatheodorou. The construction of the church began around 1970 and was completed within three years. The design of the church is considered revolutionary by many people even today.

How to get to Agia Fotini

If you’re looking to visit the church of Agia Fotini Mantineia, it is located opposite the archaeological site of Ancient Mantineia in the valley. It is not located on the main road so it might be a bit tricky to find. If you reach Tripoli, the church is 13 km north of it.
