The monuments of Greek Orthodoxy are an integral part of the national heritage. The Byzantine and post-Byzantine churches with their remarkable iconography, mosaics, frescoes and rare pictures, are witness to the intense dedication of Greek tradition and its strong connection between religion and art.
