The Transfiguration of Saviour Church, belonging to the Greek Orthodox Church is located next to the Kalighat Tram Depot.
The Greek Orthodox Church, looks more like a Greek Temple than a church, with its four Doric columns in the portico supporting the giant triangular pediment. The smart whitewashed facade the Greek Orthodox Greek church stands out amidst the chaos of Kalighat.
Although the Greek Orthodox Church has an antique look but it is among the newest of the Calcutta (Kolkata) Churches and was constructed only in 1925. But the Greek connection to the city to the city dates back almost to the days of Job Charnock, the controversial founder of the city of Calcutta (Kolkata).
According to some sources the first Greek Orthodox Church of Calcutta (Kolkata) came up in 1752, but it was soon abandoned. During the time of Warren Hastings the second Greek Orthodox Church came up in Amratala area.
