Syros, Agios Nikolaos in Ermoupolis

The Saint Nicholas Church features two bell towers, a four-meter high staircase leading to the entrance, and a bright blue dome visible from distant points.

The construction of this religious monument began in 1848 with financial support from King Otto and Queen Olga, marking a period of architectural advancement.

The interior houses marble columns from Corinth, a marble throne crafted by sculptor Georgios Vitalis in 1899, and icons painted by nineteenth-century Greek artists.

Located near Miaouli Square in central Ermoupolis, the church maintains regular opening hours and hosts religious services throughout the calendar year.

The marble used in construction originated from two distinct sources: Mount Pentelikon in Attica, Greece and selected quarries across Italy.
