Panagia Ekatondapyliani CHURCH
MAP GOOGLE MAP
(Parikia; 7.30am-9.30pm) The Panagia Ekatondapyliani, which dates from AD 326, is
one of the finest churches in the Cyclades. The building is three distinct churches: Agios
Nikolaos, the largest, with superb columns of Parian marble and a carved iconastasis in
the east of the compound; the ornate Church of Our Lady; and the ancient Baptistery.
The name translates as Our Lady of the Hundred Gates, though this is a wishful
rounding-up of a still-impressive number of doorways. The Byzantine Museum MAP
GOOGLE MAP (admission €1.50; 9.30am-2pm & 6-9pm) , within the compound, has a
collection of icons and other artefacts.
