The Bazeos Tower (or Monastery of the Holy Cross) in Sangri, Naxos island, Cyclades, Aegean sea, Greece. The original building was built around the 12th century, passing into the hands of the Venetians after 1207 and then again in 1554 at the Orthodox Church. Over the years, it was fortified to repel the pirates, taking the current tower shape during 17th century. After its dissolution, in 1833, by Bavarians Decree and towards the end of the 19th century, it was taken by Bazeos Family (Basegio). Since 2000, it is used as a cultural center, hosting exhibitions, theater performances, concerts and other cultural events.
