| Summary: | One of the oldest churches in Kastoria, dedicated to Taxiarches Michael, is
specially revered due to his role on Judgement Day. On the south facade
there was painted a series of deceased prominent members of the old society
that continued its life under the Ottoman rule with no major disturbances.
These extraordinary portraits, with their noble appearance, rich clothing
and inscriptions accompanying them, are a valuable source of knowledge of
the situation and artistic activity in the first half of the fifteenth
century. |
