AFAIU most big churches in Athens were converted to mosques during the ottoman empire, and then they were destroyed rather than being converted back.

The only ones that survived are the small ones which were never converted, and which you can still find around the city.

Wonder how many of those surviving churches were themselves erected atop the ashes of a non-Abrahamic site of worship and/or sacrifice
