Ιερός Ναός Αγίου Νικολάου Ναύπλιου

About this audio guide

This guide to the church of Saint Nicholas in Nafplio starts at the date carved by its entrance and asks how much of what you see is really that old. It follows a Venetian fleet superintendent who moved a church to the shore for sailors, and Ioannis Dimadis, an icon painter of newly free Greece. It also turns to the damp and the fallen roof that came close to costing the building its art. Best heard standing in the nave, facing the carved wooden screen.
