[[Ermoupoli]] ({{langx|el|Ερμούπολη}}) stands on a naturally [[amphitheater|amphitheatrical]] site, with neo-classical buildings, old mansions, and white houses cascading down to the harbour. It was built during the [[Greek War of Independence]] in the 1820s.

The city hall is in the center of the town, in Miaoulis Square, ringed with cafés, seating areas, and palm trees. Dubbed the "City of [[Hermes]]", Syros has numerous churches, such as Metamorphosis, Koimisis, [[St. Demetrius]], Three Hierarchs, Anastasis, Evangelistria, and St. Nicolas. There is an archaeological museum and a municipal library.

The quarter of [[Vaporia]] is where sea captains traditionally lived. There are numerous [[Neoclassical architecture|neo-classical]] mansions along the quarter's narrow streets.
