Kirchen in Santorin
Santorini's Sacred Sites
Santorini’s religious landscape is defined by its iconic blue-domed churches and stark white Cycladic architecture. This collection spans from the 18th-century Monastery of Profitis Ilias, situated at the island's highest point, to the cliffside Catholic Cathedral in Fira. These sites reflect the island's dual heritage of Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholic traditions. Many structures, such as the cave-dwelling Zoodochos Pigi or the fortress-like churches of Pyrgos, highlight historical adaptations to volcanic terrain and past maritime threats.
