The Monastery of Panagia tis Tourliani, founded in 1542 and around 1757 - 1767, was renovated by the hieromonk Ignatios Basoulas and acquired its current form. The episcopal throne, the pulpit and the wood-carved baroque iconostasis are said to have been made in Florence, while the architecture of the monastery impresses with its magnificence and is a typical example of the traditional marble sculpture of the Cyclades. In the monastery's collections there are many old tools and utensils, important ecclesiastical relics, priestly vestments, post-Byzantine icons and various other tributes.
