Ecclesiastical Museum

Closed for renovation at the time of research, this museum occupies Komotini’s early Ottoman imaret (poorhouse), the brickwork and layout of which resembles that of a Byzantine church. Its holdings include post-Byzantine icons, 500-year-old printed gospels, silver ceremonial crosses, gold embroidery and 18th-century Hebrew scrolls.
