-Ο Πύργος, η παλιά πρωτεύουσα της Σαντορίνης, είναι ένα χωριό στην ενδοχώρα του νησιού, ο Πύργος χτίστηκε στο υψηλότερο σημείο του νησιού, στην πλαγιά του βουνού Προφήτη Ηλία, το υψηλότερο σημείο του νησιού. Μέχρι το 1800 ήταν η πρωτεύουσα του νησιού.
-Pyrgos was built on the top of a hill and was until the early 1800, the capital of the island. The village is composed of traditional houses built around the Venetian Castle and the small streets follow the shape of the hill. Climing from the square up to the castle of Pyrgos, the stone houses crowd more densely together and the labyrinth of narrow vaulted lanes becomes more tortuous. The village has many churches, around 33, but the most famous is the Monastery of Profitis Ilias, where a small collection of ethnographic material and old icons are exhibits. Pyrgos is a lovely place, winter and summer alike. Although it is one of the prettiest places of the island, Pyrgos has only recently won a place on the tourist map. It has become known largely because of the splendid Easter celebrations instituted a few years ago by its deputy mayor. The day before the Plam Sunday, the whole place is fragrant with the scent of the rosemary that decorates the 17 metre cross.
