The Byzantine Museum, besides its historic relevance, is also religiously valuable, since, first of all, it is hosted by the Panagia Antivouniotissa Church. Furthermore, it has a rich display of religious artifacts, icons included, ranging, in terms of their origin, from the 13th to the 19th century.
