St Nicodemus Russian Church Description
(Local Name: Áyios Nikodímos / Sotíra tou Lykodímou) St Nicodemus Russian Church, a domed cruciform church, is one of Athens' numerous 11th C. churches. Erected in 1045 (the date is recorded in an inscription), it was damaged by the Turks in 1780, purchased by the Tsar of Russia in 1845 and redecorated internally by the painter Ludwig Thiersch. Since then, re-dedicated to St Nicodemus, it has belonged to the Russian Orthodox Church.

Immediately adjoining the church are ancient remains which, according to Travlos, belonged to baths attached to the Lykeion (Lyceum).
