Church of St. Symeon, Mytilene

The Church of Saint Symeon in Mytilene is a church on the island of Lesvos in the city of Mytilene close to the old market. In the archive of the Metropolitan Church of Mytilene documentation can be found regarding the church on page 30a and 38B beginning 1700. The specific church is mentioned and it may have been built around 1700. A church was built on the site around 1885-1891, it replaced the old church which was smaller and ready to be torn down. This maybe attributed to an earthquake in 1867. There exist architectural plans that show a huge church was on the site that predates the building of 1885. Three saints are venerated by the church; Saint Simeon Stylites of Syria, Saint Symeon Stylites of Lesbos and Simeon ()
