Monemvasia Archaeological Collection

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:55:38

This small museum housed in a former temple displays finds unearthed in the course of old town excavations, such as pottery from Asia Minor, cementing Monemvasia's status as an important trading post. The star turn is the templon (chancel screen) from an 11th-century church. Other objects of note include a marble door frame from the Church of Agia Sofia, coats of arms (the trend introduced by Frankish invaders) and well-heads of ancient cisterns.
