A church from the early Christian era in Athens, it was re-established as the [[katholikon]] of a monastery established by [[Saint Philothei]] in the late 16th century. St. Filothei was known for purchasing the freedom of women who had been forced into the [[harem]] during the Ottoman occupation. She was eventually imprisoned for this activity. This monastic church was the site where Ottoman mercenaries beat St. Filothei Ottoman during the evening church vigil service and beat her severely. She remained bedridden and died of her injuries on 19 February 1589.
