Ecclesiastical Museum of Alexandroupoli
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in the heart of Alexandroupoli, this museum is a serene sanctuary that feels like a well-kept local secret. Stepping inside, you're immediately surrounded by the quiet glow of history, far from the city's bustling port. The collection beautifully traces the deep spiritual roots of Thrace through intricate liturgical textiles and stunning post-Byzantine icons. It’s a profoundly personal and reflective journey through the region's faith and artistry.
Collection Highlights
Look for the brilliantly preserved ecclesiastical vestments, heavy with gold and silver thread, and the expressive 18th-century icons that seem to hold your gaze. Don't miss the elaborately crafted gospels and sacred vessels that complete the picture of daily worship through the centuries.
