The Cathedral and the Little Metropolis
Plaka, Athens
A Preview
"There are two churches in front of you, and you want the small one. The big pale cathedral is the Metropolis, the main cathedral of Athens. The little stone church crouching beside it is the Little Metropolis, and if you get close you'll see that its walls are covered in carvings that don't match. Lions, eagles, crosses, wreaths, a sphinx, panels lifted off Roman tombs."
