About

Catedral católica construida en 1823, que presenta hermosos frescos y sirve a la comunidad católica de Santorini.

The Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist stands in Fira, the main town on the island of Santorini in Greece. Also known as Fira Cathedral, it is a Catholic church built in 1823 and still serves the island's Catholic community, so a visit means stepping into a place of worship as well as a historic building.

What to see

  • The frescoes that decorate the interior, which are the feature most often noted by visitors.
  • Its setting in Fira, where the cathedral sits among the town's whitewashed streets and its views over the caldera.

Planning your visit

The cathedral is an easy addition to a walk through Fira, and it pairs well with the other sights and lookouts of the town. Because it is an active church, it is worth dressing respectfully and keeping your voice low while inside, especially during services.
