Hermoupolis: The Creation of a New City on Syros at the Beginning of the 19th Century

The publication Hermoupolis: The Creation of a New City on Syros at the Beginning of the 19th Century presents the establishment and development of the Cycladic capital. The churches, public buildings and houses, along with the paintings and sculptures, still attest to the flowering of the town in the 19th century. Hermoupolis was created on Syros at the time of the Greek War of Independence. It rapidly developed into an important commercial, economic and cultural hub.
