This collection of glorious and intricate mosaics dates back to the 14th century and the dying years of the Byzantine era. It depicts the life of the Virgin Mary and the life and miracles of Christ, and includes a series of frescoes.

It's open every day from 9-4:30 except Wednesdays. There's a moderate admission fee.
