Pyrgos — Village of Marble Sculptors

Pyrgos is a mountain village in the northwest of Tinos, the birthplace of many prominent Greek sculptors of the 19th and 20th centuries. The streets are paved with marble, and the Museum of Sculptors and the Museum of Marble showcase the island's centuries-old tradition of stone carving. A visit to the studios and the old cemetery, adorned with exceptional marble sculptures, offers insight into the unique artisan identity of Tinos.
