The Byzantine church dedicated to the Assumption of Mary is located in the village of Mesa Gonia and allegedly was built by Alexios Komnenos in the 11th century.
The monastery of Prophet Elias is located in Pyrgos and is a very important landmark in Santorini, since it houses two museums; the Folklore and the Ecclesiastical Museum.
