On the edge of the cliff
Three blue domes
The world-famous three domes of Oia belong to two churches: The Church of the Resurrection of the Lord supplies one dome, while the Church of Saint Spyridon contributes the other two. Both churches were built in the 19th century and survived a devastating earthquake in 1956 that levelled most of Oia. They stand on the edge of the precipice overlooking the caldera and the surrounding volcanic islands.
