Facts and practical information

The Byzantine Museum of Veroia is a museum in Greece, which opened in 2002. It is housed in the old Markos mill, adjacent to the city walls of Veroia in Central Macedonia, Greece, on the boundary of the listed quarter of Kyriotissa. The museum's founding mission is to make known the monuments in Veroia and the surrounding area, which date from Byzantine and Post-Byzantine times, to make the traditions of the area known, and to collaborate with other Byzantine museums in Macedonia to organize periodic exhibitions. The museum's three-storey building will house permanent exhibitions which will retain their artistic self-sufficiency. ()
