Art Meets Life. About 1000 dovecots are scattered throughout Tinos island, having evolved into typical local art. Then the motifs that developed along the way, gained an independent status, and were placed on the facades of houses and public buildings as decorative elements, while offering a night shelter to some pigeons far from their nest. This is a beautiful example, marking the way through the narrow, arched alley.
