The solo photography exhibition by Platon Rivellis "Catholic Chapels of Syros" will be running at the Hellenic American Union from today, May 13, to June 3.

The inhabitants of Syros, the vast majority of which belonged to the Catholic denomination up to the mid-19th century, used to build chapels in the countryside, which looked exactly like orthodox chapels on the outside, while their interior attested to their affiliation with the Western-type churches in dogma and aesthetics.

Platon Rivellis photographed, between 2010 and 2012, the few chapels left standing, which date back to the 17th and 18th centuries.
