Monasteries of Santorini
Few monasteries or monastic communities were built on Santorini island, and most of them were founded by Catholic congregations, such as the Jesuits, the Lazarists, the Sisters of Mercy and the Dominicans. The two major orthodox monasteries were the monastery of Profitis Ilias at Pyrgos and the women's monastery of Aghios Nikolaos in Imerovigli.
