According to its engraved inscription, it was built in 1865 and signifies
an innovation as far as church architecture is concerned. This innovation was
first observed in Thessaloniki after the Hati Houmayioun Treaty was signed in
1856. Regarding its form, a square small tower with a cross on top accords with
the arch of the three-winged basilica of Ayios Geogrios, an element related to
religious beliefs as well as national ideals. Such an element favours the arrival
of neobyzantinism, which eliminates memories from the Turkish occupation and introduces
a monumental style of a symbolic nature.
