This collection spans the diverse religious architecture of the Cyclades, from the 11th-century Chozoviotissa Monastery built into Amorgos' cliffs to the major pilgrimage site of Our Lady of Tinos. In Santorini, explore the fortress-like Prophet Elias Monastery at the island's highest point and the mosaic-filled Orthodox Cathedral.
