Serifos' sights, the village Panagia
At the settlement Panagia it is worth visiting the church of Panagia. It is a Byzantine church and it is the most ancient church of the island, built around 950-1000.
The church is called Xylopanagia because of a custom that used to take place during its celebration, at the festival on the fifteenth of August. It is a cruciform basilica and its remarkable frescos date from the 14th and the 17th century
During the revolution of 1821, in which the Serifians participated actively, its cells have been used as a refuge for the refugees from Peloponnesus and from the islands around Serifos.
