Despite the changes caused by time and human intervention, Pyrgi is still a living medieval legend today. Its urban planning and architectural form are of immense historical interest. Its fortification layout is representative for dealing with hostile raids. In Pyrgi many historical monuments are preserved. The church of the Holy Apostles, a copy of the katholikon of Nea Moni, is a perfectly preserved Byzantine monument, with plenty of ceramic decoration, serrated tapes in the dome, with double marble lions and colorful phialostom in the masonry. Its erection is set in the 13th to 14th century. Both its exterior architectural elements and murals that adorn the interior surfaces of the walls are kept in very good condition. The frescoes, which are the work of Antonios Domestichos of Cretos, date back to 1665 and are characterized by a bold folk style, in which elements of the Cretan School's art are preserved. There is also the temple of the Assumption, built in 1694, the temple of Taxiarchis that dates back to 1680, and the monastery of St. George of the 19th century, all in very good condition. But what charms the guest at the first glance is the “chiseled” houses, a type of decorating the façade with geometric shapes in black and white. The technique is based on the black sand of coating, which scrapes scrapes from simple or complex patterns and gives black themes on a white background that reminds of the Italian sgraffiti. This exterior decoration technique was loved by the locals, which is why they kept it alive to this day. Remember… The style used for the exterior decoration of the houses is unique.
