Eleni Michou, Archaeologist The church of Saint Nicholas of the Market is located in Ioannina, on today's Hatzikonsta Street, in the historic center of the city. It seems that it already existed from the beginning of the 17th century, according to a reference in a document from July 1628, as well as from a reference in the Menaion of July of the church of Saint Nicholas Kopanon, where it is mentioned that on February 19, 1630 his son Recep Aga destroyed Saint Nicholas of the Market. Until December 2, 1647, the temple has not been rebuilt, while it is mentioned again in March 1749, without, however, making known the exact year of its erection. The only clear fact is that the temple was rebuilt between the years 1647-1749. It was destroyed again during the bloody clashes between Ali Pasha and Hurshid Pasha and the destruction of Ioannina in 1822 by the Sultan's troops. Its second reconstruction, due to its current form, began in 1837, with the sponsorship of the Zosimadon brothers and G. Hatzikonstas, founder and of the adjacent hospital, who completed the church in 1842. However, little is known about the history of the temple after its completion.
