Didymoteicho, GR
Get Directions
Did you know that Didymoteicho had become capital of the Byzantine Empire, not once but three times?
The town’s Byzantine Museum illuminates the role – unknown to many – that the Thrace-Didymoteicho dyad played in the history of the Byzantine Empire, while warmly engaging local everyday life and habits in more recent times, highlighting the region’s multiculturalism.
At the same time, the exhibition narrates the story of the ancient city of Plotinopolis, founded by Emperor Trajan on the hill of Petra.
The illuminated floor map of the Byzantine Via Egnatia in Thrace resembles a knowledge game that encourages interaction with the visitors, who realize that they are parts of this modern and aesthetically superb museum narrative.
