Explore the treasures of Byzantine art in the churches scattered throughout the gorgeous mountainous countryside of this Balkan region known in classical Antiquity as Macedonia. The relative remoteness of those sites has served as a shield for the monasteries and churches, and even though most of them were ransacked and raided through history, the art remains. The art is absolutely phenomenal as the best artists from the imperial cities of Constantinople and Thessaloniki were invited to decorate those foundations. While seeing the sites, one can imagine the glory and splendor of the many monuments of the Imperial cities that did not survive.
