St. John the Baptist Cathedral, Santorini, Catholic cathedral in Fira, Greece.
The brick construction of St. John the Baptist Cathedral features blue-gray and cream colors, with ornate detailing throughout its baroque revival design.
Following its initial construction in 1823, the cathedral required complete rebuilding after the 1956 earthquake, with restoration work completed in 1970.
The cathedral conducts religious services in Greek for 500 Catholic residents, incorporating English translations during key segments of the mass.
Visitors can attend services at 8:00 AM on weekdays, 7:00 PM on Saturdays, and 10:00 AM on Sundays between June and September.
The cathedral's Mediterranean blue interior dome and pale orange exterior differ from traditional Greek Orthodox churches' blue and white color schemes.
