This church of Saint Dionysius is the biggest in the city and it is dedicated to the protector of the island. It was built in 1948 and it resisted the earthquake in 1953. With its high bell tower it stands out among the buildings of Zakynthos and is recognisable as soon as you enter the port. When entering the church you will be impressed by the quantity of frescos, lamp holders and colours. Among the artists who contributed to the magnificence of this church there are the painter Doxaras and the chaser Bafas who engraved the silver reliquary in where there are the mortal remains of Saint Dionysios.
