Look closely at icons and sacred objects spanning the late Byzantine period to the modern border town
The Ecclesiastical Museum narrows the broad chronology of the Byzantine Museum to objects made and used in religious life. Icons of different periods and styles, vestments and church furnishings show continuity as well as changing artistic influences. Its setting beneath Panagia Eleftherotria also makes clear that the collection remains connected to an active church community.
The municipality lists a morning contact number rather than dependable all-day opening. Telephone between the published contact hours to arrange or confirm a visit, and do not arrive expecting a staffed ticket desk. Ask about stairs, accessible entry and photography when calling. Dress respectfully, keep sound off and allow worship or church events to take priority over sightseeing.
