Structural Consolidation of Aghios Konstantinos Church, Athens

This paper is based on the master’s thesis work conducted by D.Ph. Pocobelli in Sapienza University of Rome in 2014. Although the Aghios Konstantinos Church is currently under restoration processes, this research took place before the restoration of the dome, now finalised. Aghios Konstantinos Church was designed by architect Lysandros Kaftantzoglou at the end of the 19th century. It was being built for more than 20 years, and it was completed after its author’s death. The main façade is characterised by three different levels: the ground floor, the mezzanine or gynaeceum, and the dome.
