It is the island’s metropolitan temple, built in the 18th century on the remnants of a previous temple that had been demolished and which appears to have existed before 1613. Its face is adorned with a marble relief of saint George.On May 10, 1821, Theophilos Kairis, one of the leading intellectuals of the Greek Revolution, declared the War of Independence by raising the Greek flag at the picturesque cliffside church of St George : at this time, a famous heartfelt speech, or "rhetoras", inspired shipowners and merchants to contribute funds and contribute ships to build a Greek Navy to combat the Ottoman Empire.
