The basilica of the "Annunciation" is located in Esslingen (southern Germany next to Stuttgart). It is the largest Greek Orthodox church in Europe outside Greece.
The three-aisled basilica was completed in 1995. The massive concrete structure was elaborately revetted and painted in a classic, orthodox manner.
For the Greek Orthodox faithful of Esslingen, the basilica is more than just a religious place. Here, the Greek life takes place, the church means their home.
