Metropolitan Church of the Presentation of the Lord
Ipapantis, Thira 847 00
Whitewashed cathedral with bell tower and courtyard, seat of the island's diocese since eighteen twenty-seven.
This guide to the Metropolitan Church of the Presentation of the Lord in Santorini's Fira opens with a claim about Vinsanto, the island's famous wine, and how far it once traveled. It walks the rebuilt cathedral, raised in 1827 and remade again after the 1956 earthquake, past its bell tower, courtyard arches and the frescoes painter Christoforos Asimis added inside. Along the way it takes up the unresolved argument over where the wine's name actually comes from. Look up at the mosaic worked into the facade before stepping inside.
