Dromolaxia's main church, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, is a special building to the people of Dromolaxia. It is believed that when the church caught fire the church bell could be heard ringing. The residents claimed that St. John rang the bell to warn the people that there was a fire in order to save the church.
