Saint Therapon (Mytilene)

The Saint Therapon church of Mytilene, Lesbos, Greece is a church located at the port of the town dedicated to Saint Therapon.

The architectural order follows the cross-in-square type; however, the monument constitutes a combination of elements from contemporary architectural trends that prevailed in the Western Europe (Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassicism etc.). Gothic elements are prevalent as well, adding an impressiveness and a distinctive style to the monument.
