Its elaborate architecture and vivid frescoes demonstrate the high level of civilization on early Bronze age Santorini. A sizeable settlement was found in Thera and gradually developed into one of the main urban centers and ports of the Aegean.

The impressive buildings of Akrotiri include three-story houses faced with masonry (some with balconies) and extensively decorated with frescoes, which were very well preserved in the ash.

Most of the wall paintings are displayed in the National Archaeological Museum, Athens.
