| The Acropolis of Agios Andreas |
 |
| The hill of Agios Andreas is situated in a strategic position. On the top of the hill you will find the ruins of an ancient fortified acropolis and the church of Agios Andreas. The church is standing on the precipitous and almost inaccessible Eastern side. The acropolis was built in the Mycenaean period (13th cent. B.C.) , and it was inhabited until half of 12th cent B.C. During the 8th cent. new buildings were constructed, the fortification wall was repaired and eight small solid square bastions were constructed. The geometric town of Kastro was also built during this period and in the same area we find, much later, the city of Sifnos. The three sides of a double wall, surrounding the plateau still exists in a very good condition today, but the East side is almost destroyed. |
