Santorini Agios Stylianos Catholic Church

Location: Fira

Agios Stylianos is a Catholic Church in Fira, built on the edge of the cliff & overlooking the caldera, the whitewashed town & the volcano.
It is dedicated to Saint Stylianos of Paphlagonia & the celebrations for the saint take place on November 26th.
Despite its small size, the church attracts much attention thanks to its unique design which makes it a truly photogenic ecclesiastical monument: it has a charming bell tower, its dome is white & its walls are carefully painted light blue & tan, with reddish details.
Although the church's construction date is unknown, manuscripts indicate that it has existed at least since 1757.
It has a traditional style of Santorinian architecture, although before its renovation in 1988 its design used to have some baroque elements.
