ST HARALAMBOS GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH - Physical Description 1
This Greek Orthodox church has a Romanesque basilican plan with a three-bay, barrel-vaulted porch and squat round-headed campaniles to the west front. The section is also basilican: a nave and two aisles, with a clerestory. There are Romanesque windows, a narthex between the campaniles, all round-headed. There is a seven-light window on the west front and extremely slender double-light windows on the campaniles. All is rendered.
This is a characteristic modern Orthodox design seen in numerous towns throughout modern Greece. It derives ultimately from Byzantine antecedents like Santa Fosca, Torcello (C12th) adapted to the basilican form. Other comparable churches include Melbourne Orthodox Churches such as Prahran, North Carlton and Essendon.
