METROPOLIS OF SAINT DIONYSIOS

Learn his name: Saint Dionysios was born in Zante in 1547 and is the island's patron saint. As a result, its metropolis also bears his name. Take a look around, as it preserves the saint's relics and welcomes many pilgrims throughout the year. Founded in 1926, the metropolis is a three-part basilica with an interior vault. Inside, you can admire the beautiful mosaics. The great earthquake of 1953 left them intact.
