Old church in Athens. The Church of the Holy Apostles, also known as Holy Apostles of Solaki, is located in the Ancient Agora of Athens, Greece, next to the Stoa of Attalos, and can be dated to around the late 10th century. Before Greece won its independence in 1829, some 130 churches were recorded in Athens. Ironically, many were destroyed not by the Ottomans, but during construction of the modern Greek capital. Churches were often used as a source of building material, much as the ancient temples had been used earlier. Greece.
