Publisher Description: Syros, the heart of the Cyclades, includes two very different settlements: Ano Syros. A shelter from pirates, a cultural centre with some of the first schools in Greece and today a rare medieval fortified town. And Hermoupolis. The former residential, cultural, commercial, and industrial centre of Greece. The world's largest neoclassical ensemble. A feast of images. This book, based on a large number of black and white photos, with concise historical and architectural explanations, endeavours to give a glimpse of this cultural richness to the visitor who desires to discover it. |
