The Museum of Marble Crafts, in Pirgos, on the island of Tinos, is a unique example presenting the technology of marble, a material that holds a particular place in the architecture and art of Greece, from antiquity through to the present. The permanent exhibition, which describes the intricate meshing of tools and techniques used in working marble in a detailed and live manner, puts an emphasis on the pre- and proto- industrial Tinos, the most important centre of marble crafts in Modern Greece. In parallel, it highlights the social and economic context that the local workshops evolved in.
Great to know how many species of marble do exist!!! Great investment of Pyrgos village! Interesting elements of cultural history!

Magnificent church of Orthodox Christian religion. Spectacular not only for its size, but also for the details of its ancient decoration. It is said that miracles have taken place at this church. Sometimes you get to see people walking on their knees towards the entrance of the building as a symbolic religious act. That is the reason a red carpet has been installed in the outdoors area leading to the church entrance in order to protect people doing that, from hurting their knees. Believers or not this a remarkable monument you can pay a visit to.
