Saint Athanasius of Mouzakis Church, Byzantine church in Kastoria, Greece.
Saint Athanasius of Mouzakis Church exhibits traditional Byzantine architecture with frescoes depicting saints in period attire and religious scenes throughout the interior.
The church was constructed in 1383-1384 by brothers Teodor II Muzaka and Stoya Muzaka, marking the final church built before Ottoman control of Kastoria.
The interior paintings include military saints and notable depictions of Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary wearing imperial costumes, reflecting medieval Byzantine artistic traditions.
The church maintains specific visiting schedules and requires appropriate dress code, while professional photography inside requires advance permission from local authorities.
Saint George appears in a distinctive fresco wearing a mantle decorated with a double-headed eagle, similar to Emperor John V Palaiologos emblems.
