Built in 1708, it was renovated in 1764 and decorated with valuable icons, works by the Zakynthian painters Koutouzis and Doxaras. The church houses the coffin with the relic of the saint, which was translated here in 1717 from the Strofades monastery, where Dionysios had been buried.

Dionysius of Zakynthos was born in 1547 on the island of Zakynthos in the Ionian Sea. Before becoming a monk his name was Draganigos Sigouros He was educated by priests and became fluent in Greek, Italian, and Latin. He excelled in theology, became a monk in 1568, received his first degree of ordination as a priest in 1570 as Daniel; he later became hieromonk of Zakynthos and Strofades. In 1577 he was raised to Archbishop of Aegina and Poros and after a year abdicated from this dignity and settled in Zakynthos as an abbot of a monastery. In December 17, 1622 he fell asleep in the Lord.

Sfântul Dionysios s-a născut în Zakynthos în 1546, refuzând poziţia lui socială şi trăind numai în scopuri caritabile. Este protectorul insulei şi din acest motiv, în anul 1708 a fost construită biserica consacrată lui. Trupul Sfantului Dionysios se află in biserică şi foarte mulţi pelerini vin în fiecare an, pe 24 August, să se roage la sfintele moaşte.
