Holy Metropolitan Church
of Timios Prodromos

This is the Metropolis of the City of Xanthi. It features a three-part basilica and is located at the central square of the Old Town, built in 1839.

It is made of stone and is a one-storey building with hand-carved woodwork at the roof. Later restorations (1067) performed at the church’s frontal exterior destroyed the original narthix and altered its original form.

Aside from the main Church and a few metres away a three-storey bell tower was build in 1924, made of fortified concrete and featuring interesting architecture.
