The most important church of Hermoupolis and nowadays the seat of the Mitropolis (bishop). Excellent woodcarvings and icons.

This church houses one of the masterpieces of religious art, an icon by the hand of Domenikos Theotokoupoulos, also known as "El Greco", and illustrating the "Kimisi tis Theotokou"(dormition of the Mother of God). It is generally assumed that this icon was brought here from Venice.

This is the church which welcomes those visitors who arrive by sea: its bells ring whenever a ship enters the port. The church was built on the place where the icon of Agios Dimitrios was found somewhere among the rocks.

Built in 1870

Catholic church - built begining 19th AD. It occupies the site of the Grigorios Stefanos church. It was rebuilt in 1829, at the order of the Austrian consul, to the design of the Tiniot architect H. Simos. Grigorios Stefanos is buried in the central part of the church.

The church of Agios Georgios, "Saint Georges", is situated on top of the hill of Ano Syros. It has been the cathedral ("mitropolis") of the island's catholic community since 1652.
It was built in about 1200 A.D. and since then has been restored more than 3 times. In 1617, it was destroyed by the Turks. It acquired its present appearance after 1834.
The icons of Agios Georgios and the Panagia (Virgin Mary) tis Elpidas are well-known and treated with great reverence. The portrait of bishop Andreas Kargas, who was hung by the Turks, is worth a mention.

Descending the dazzling white steps from the church of Agios Georgios, one comes upon the Jesuit monastery with its ancient inscriptions, icons and other objects of worship.
It was founded in 1744 and obtained its present appearance in 1852-53. The Jesuits no longer live there today. It houses an important library of 6.000 books.

The chapel of Agios Stefanos, built on the rocks just above the sea.

The impressive catholic church of Faneromenis, on a hill in Chroussa, attracts many worshippers during religious holidays.

The orthodox church of Agios Ioannis is most certainly worth a visit
