Construction of the cathedral began on Christmas Day 1842, with the foundation laid by King Otto I of Greece and Queen Amalia. Marble from 72 destroyed churches in Athens at the time was used to build the cathedral. The cathedral was built in several stages, and four architects worked on it: Theophilus von Hansen (1842–1843), Dimitrios Zezos (1846–1857), Franç ois Boulanger and Panagiotis Kalkos (1857–1862).
