Church of St. George

Ι. Ναός Αγίου Γεωργίου, Κωμιακή, Νάξος

In the village of Komiaki on Naxos stands the Church of St. George, a Byzantine-era sanctuary dedicated to the dragon-slaying saint. Its stone walls and modest dome are characteristic of the island ecclesiastical architecture of the period, when the Cyclades formed part of the Eastern Roman Empire. The interior once held frescoes, though little remains visible today. Designated an ancient monument, the church has endured centuries of change, a quiet witness to the faith and craftsmanship of a community whose roots reach deep into the island's past.
