Amanda, Here is a photograph from the late 1920s of the Cathedral of Sts Constantine & Helen. You will note the local woman in traditional dress walking in front of the church. Also note the iron reinforcements that were inserted after the 1926 earthquake. Remarkably, the Cathedral has hardly changed to this day. Nicholas

Here is a photo of the handsome side entrance to the church above which may be seen one of the original dedications commemorating its consecration: The dedication reads: This church was erected through the generous benefactions of the pious Orthodox residents of Megiste and was consecrated on 10 April 1835.Nicholas
