Holy Cathedral of Saint Kyriaki of Servia
Here, you stand before an impressive example of ecclesiastical architecture: a three-aisled basilica distinguished by its imposing tall bell tower. Inside, the arched vault of the central nave dominates, while the iconostasis is made of wood. Built in 1679 on the site of an earlier small church, it became the new cathedral of Servia, replacing the Basilica of Saint Demetrios of the Byzantine city. Nearby, you will see the Bishop’s Residence and, a little further on, the old 19th-century school — signs of a vibrant community that endured through time. Take a look at the chapel of Saint Nikanor on the southern side, and the reception hall on the west side. The church features a women’s gallery and loft, adding height and grandeur to the interior, while its impressive 1938 bell tower completes a majestic setting. Despite three complete destructions throughout its long history, the church has been restored and stands proudly to this day.
