The first formation of the church "Estavromenos" of Aigaleo was constructed in 1934 and it was a rough building that looked like a parapet. The next year, a simple basilica was rebuilt with bricks at the same point. Eventually, the place of worship began the process of completion in 1945, while the official inauguration took place in 1965. Inside, it has beautiful frescoes, carved marble, and Byzantine icons. The church celebrates every September 14th with a magnificent feast.
