Ecclesiastical Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 19:01:40

This museum occupies Komotini’s early Ottoman ptohokomeio (almshouse), inside a courtyard. The structure’s brickwork and design resemble a Byzantine church. It exhibits post-Byzantine icons, 500-year-old printed gospels, silver ceremonial crosses, gold embroidery and 18th-century Hebrew scrolls.
