History
Originally erected as the Diocese of Naxos in the 13th century, the Latin bishopric was promoted to the rank of Metropolitan Archdiocese of Naxos in 1522, after the fall of
Rhodes (Ottoman conquest), when the Archiepiscopal see for its Knights Hospitallers' crusader state was in fact moved from there.
In 1538, Naxos (along with the islands of
Andros ,
Paros , and
Santorini ) fell to the Ottoman naval commander
Hayreddin Barbarossa .
[3] In response, Pope
Paul III assembled a
’’Holy League’’ , comprising the
Papacy ,
Spain , the
Republic of Genoa , the
Republic of Venice and the
Knights of Malta , to confront Barbarossa
[4] but were defeated at the
Battle of Preveza .
On June 3, 1919, the Archdiocese of Naxos was united with the
Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Tinos and Mykonos (which in 1824 had absorbed the suppressed
Roman Catholic Diocese of Andros , without adopting its title) to form the present Archdiocese of Naxos, Tinos, Andros and Mykonos , whose new name also includes Andros.
Province
The Metropolitan's
ecclesiastical province comprises his own archdiocese and the following
