The cemetery is located at St. George street and is accessible through the garden of St. George church which was built in 1839. An inscription in the central sanctuary indicates the patron, the donors and the date of completion. The church has been altered by successive restorations, from 1857/58 till the beginning of the 20th century. The chapels of St. Thekla and St. Andrew were added at the sides of the Church. The marble temple of St. Thekla was made by sculptor I. Filippotis. The paintings are made by Fr. Desipris, D. Kostarakis and Emm. Psaltidis.

The Archaeological Museum is housed in the Town Hall, with its own entrance from the west side. The museum started with only one collection: the inscriptions collected by John Kokkonis in 1834. This first museum was housed in the High School of the town, then (1888) in the municipal building of the island and from 1899 to 1901 in the Town Hall. The decision to move the findings in the Town Hall is connected with the important discoveries of Chr. Tsountas in Chalandriani and the desire of the residents of Syros to keep them on the island.

In the halls of the Cultural Centre of Ermoupolis you will find the Copies of Cycladic Art Museum. It opened in 1993 and was sponsored by John and Helen Vati.

In this museum you will find educational programs for children and guided tours for adults. The aim of the program is to provide knowledge as to how important Cycladic culture was. With this program, children can learn the history of the island by playing, drawing and creating.
