ALEXANDROUPOLI (Town) EVROS
The cathedral of St. Nicolas was first in stimulating the development of Alexandroupolis. Initially in 1850 a similar church was built in the same area with the contributions of the few navymen and fishermen of the coastal settlements.
In the construction of today's large church, the citizens of Ainos of Alexandroupolis for its aesthetic improvement transferred from the beautiful gate of the city of Ainos valuable icons, the gold-plated Sacred Icon which is used in the formal procession on Good Friday and other sacred items which today are located in the Ecclesiastical Museum. The Church was completed in 1900 and the formal inauguration occurred in 1901 by the Metropolitan Bishop Germanos of Ainos.
In 1908, with the contribution of Vlassios Souchour of Samos, consul of Austria-Hugary in Alexandroupolis, the construction and the raising of the two belfries took place. The church was renovated in 1947 under the auspice of Metropolitan Bishop Ioakim Kaviris.
The Church is dedicated to the city's patron saint, Saint Nicolas. It is tree-portioned with a dome, two belfries and other assorted architectural elements.

The monument does not provide much information about its history since
it is half-buried in the ground, and almost all its surfaces, both inside and
outside, are covered with plaster; the anteroom and the bell-tower (formerly a
minaret) are later additions. It is a rectangular building with sloped roofs on
the north and south part, and an octagonal dome supported on a rectangular base.
The initial wall masonry is discernible only on the east side. The monument is
dated to the 9th century A.D.
The east side has been restored and the church functions regularly.

Single-aisled, barrel-vaulted church of the Palaiologan period. A
staircase on the east side leads up to the fortress. The
church has undergone many reconstruction phases (1861-1892) but the walls
remain intact. The wall-paintings are dated before the middle of the 14th century.
Excavations on the south and east sides have brought to light part
of the city's fortification wall which communicated with the church by means of
a built staircase which led up to a tower-like section of the wall. It was also
proved that the church was later incorporated into the castle. The church does
not function today but the iconostasis and the wall-paintings have been restored.
