I was strolling on my early morning walk to Imerovigli , when I saw that there was a path towards Skaros Rock, which used to be a fortress. Skaros was one of the five fortified settlements and the most important one. The rock was inhabited in medieval times, because the fortress constructed there offered protection from pirates. At the top of the rock hung a large bell, to warn inhabitants of imminent pirate raids. Skaros was the capital of Santorini until the 18th century, although evacuation of Skaros started at the beginning of the 17th century. The rich Roman Catholics who had once lived there had moved to the town of Fira, abandoning the castle for a lower flatter level with access to the sea.
