Start here to give the Roman city, castle and later border landscape a coherent chronological frame
This should be the first formal visit. The museum turns scattered remains into a continuous story, linking Plotinopolis on Agia Petra with the fortified medieval city and its place in Byzantine administration and conflict. Objects and interpretation make the castle walk more rewarding, especially for travellers who would otherwise see only disconnected towers and church walls.
Use the national museum page for current seasonal hours, tickets and closures, not an old blog or map listing. Arrive with at least an hour and ask staff about Plotinopolis access and temporary exhibitions. The modern building is the best place in town to discuss accessibility, but confirm any specific requirement directly. Follow gallery photography rules and leave food and large bags where staff instruct.
