Byzantine Museum

A valuable collection of Byzantine art from Greece and Asia Minor is found at the Byzantine Museum in Athens, in a palace built by Kleanthes in 1840, on a site which was then in open country, for the eccentric Duchesse de Plaisance, wife of Charles-François Lebrun, whom Napoleon made Duc de Plaisance (Piacenza).

Courtyard: Architectural fragments from early Christian basilicas and Byzantine churches (fifth-15th centuries) and a reproduction of a fountain depicted in a mosaic at the monastery of Dafní.
