Church of Panagia Paraportiani, Mykonos, Greece
Built between the 1400s and 1600s, this Greek Orthodox Church, known as Panagia Paraportiani, or Our Lady, was constructed as part of the Castle of Mykonos, which was built circa 1207 AD and destroyed in the 1500s, with part of the structure of the castle being incorporated into the church during its construction.  The building has a distinctive form with a limewashed exterior, domed roof, and tapered walls, with the building’s incorporation of parts of the former castle being evident in its irregular appearance.  Today, the church is one of the most famous on Mykonos due to it distinctive appearance, and it is the largest building atop the castle ruins next to the harbor.
