The opulent temple with the towering belfry that stands near the port of Zakynthos is dedicated to the patron saint of the island, Agios Dionysios. The church that exists today was built in 1948 and was one of the few buildings that survived the devastating earthquake of 1953. The most important shrine in the temple is the silver urn engraved by silversmith Bafas, which enshrines the relics of the saint.
