NileGuide Expert tip:
Papa Cristo's Greek Town Taverna, just around the corner on Pico Boulevard, is an ideal place for an authentic Greek meal afterwards.
Description:
- Built in traditional Baroque style, this church features unassuming exteriors but flamboyant interiors. It also contains an impressive array of murals, chandeliers and panels depicting the Crucifixion and Resurrection. Other features worth particular note are the Epitaphios, an exquisitely carved baldachino and the Bishop's throne. The nave seats 850, and has interestingly been stripped of the columns which usually adorn similar European churches. It also hosts LA Greek Fest.
