St. Francis of Assisi Cathedral, Rhodes

Φραγκίσκου της Ασίζης)[1] also called Catholic Cathedral of Rhodes, is a Roman Catholic church located in the city of Rhodes, Greece,[2] near the gate of St. Athanasius, between the two districts Acandia and St. John.

On September 20, 1936 the first stone was laid in the presence of Archbishop Giovanni Castellani and the Italian governor of the Dodecanese, Mario Lago.

The works for the construction of the church, designed by architect Armando Bernabiti, ended in 1939.

In 1940 the church was equipped with an organ and enriched with 14 terracotta bas-reliefs depicting the Stations of the Cross, the sculptor Monteleone.

On the ceiling above the central altar, a cross rises, around which symbols of the four evangelists are arranged symmetrically.
