Paraportiani, Greek Orthodox church in Chora, Greece.

The Paraportiani church structure consists of five individual churches combined into one complex, with four churches at ground level and one above.

The construction of Paraportiani church started in 1425 and continued through multiple phases until completion in the seventeenth century.

The building represents traditional Cycladic architecture with its white walls, geometric forms, and irregular shapes formed by the merging of separate churches.

Located at the entrance of Chora district, the church exterior remains accessible for viewing throughout the day, while the interior maintains limited access.

The structure incorporates the churches of Saint Eustathios, Saint Sozon, Saints Anargyroi, Saint Anastasia, and Virgin Mary in a distinctive vertical arrangement.
