Description

Byzantine and Christian Museum is housed in a delightful neoclassical villa. The exhibition of the Byzantine and Christian Museum emphasizes the role of the Byzantine Empire, between 300-1000 AD, as a pole of stability in a period of great uncertainties and conflicts (upheavals and reversals) in the European world as well as in the broader Mediterranean area. Besides boasting one of the richest collections of religious icons in the world, it exhibits mosaics, frescoes, sculptural works and jewellery from Greece and other regions of the former Byzantine Empire.
