The Orthodox Cathedral of Agios Andreas of Patras was built between 1908 and 1974. It is an important pilgrimage church as it houses the remains of the apostle Saint Andrew. The relics of the apostle were donated to the church by St. Peter's Basilica in Rome in September 1964, under the direction of Pope Paul IV (1963-1978). The imposing Byzantine building was constructed under the supervision of the architect Anastasios Metaxas, who was followed by George Nomikos.

The church of Saint Athanasius (Agios Athanasios) in Lithines is a 15th century church that today operates as a cultural centre. It houses the tomb of Georgios Vlachos, a local lord. Outside the church there is an arcosol (funerary monument), but its condition is rather deteriorated.

This impressive church is a mixture of different styles and periods. Today desacralized, it is the testimony of the religious history of the city. Visitors can enter the church through a sublime porch, whose tympanum and vaults bear witness to the magnificence of Gothic architecture.
