Santorini Sightseeing: The Santorini Catholic Cathedral

Santorini Santorini Catholic Cathedral 01

This cathedral of Santorini is in great contrast to many of its Byzantine neighbours. The peach exterior makes it stand out from afar, as of course does its size. There are also a wonderfully ornate clock tower within which are also bells. The inside is just as decorative with large religious portraits framed with pillars. The dome from the interior is lilac blue and other parts are colored orange and cream. Look out for the confession box by the door. One can also tell that the cathedral is not that old and was in fact restored and opened in 1975 after suffering from the earthquake of the fifties.
