Fodor's Review:

On Plapouta street is a square whose showpiece is this church, a Byzantine-era monument set at an angle, with five domes dating from the beginning of the 16th century and a Venetian arcade and campanile. Inside is the throne of King Otho. Around the square are several neoclassical houses —the one opposite the church is exceptional. Note the palmette centered above the door, the pilasters on the third floor with Corinthian capitals, the running Greek-key entablature, and the end tiles along the roofline. Nafplion has many other neoclassical buildings; keep your eyes open and don't forget to look up once in a while.
