The metropolitan church of Saint Constantine and Helen was built by the architect Kaftantzoglou, painted by Anastasios Loukidis and founded in 1905 by Queen Olga. Inside it we find two basilicas, a Constantine with arcades and a Justinian without arcades. It is said that the church was a simple church in the district of Gerani. This was the name of the area between Koumoundourou Square, Piraeus and Agios Konstantinos. Opposite Saint Constantine is the National Theater, a work of German architect Ernestos Schiller, inspired by the Renaissance. The theater began to be built as a basilica from 1891. Delivered in 1900, closed in 1908, and reopened as National Theater in 1932, under Education Minister George Papandreou and Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos.
