Mosaic of the Baptism of Christ in the Daphni Monastery, Greece.

While the catholicon was built during the Macedonian dynasty, its mosaics are a rare example of monumental art from the Komnenoi period.

Finally, I suggest taking a look at a genre that rarely appears on my channel on its own: stained glass.

This one, depicting the Baptism of Christ, adorns the White Church in Bucharest, Romania.

The Byzantine castle of the former fortress town of Moglena near the present-day village of Chrysi, Greece.

Like many Byzantine fortifications, it is not in the best condition, but its walls still demonstrate the craftsmanship of the Middle Byzantine era.

They are built of roughly hewn stone and are not only reinforced with plinths, but also have entire belts made of them, which, together with the overall shape of the fortress, testifies to the preservation of antique standards when it was necessary to adapt to the limited financial conditions associated with the need for rapid work.

The old governor's palace in Stavropol, Russia, is notable not only for its balcony with caryatids, but also for its remarkable continuity. Although governors no longer live here, of course, city authorities have continued to be located here throughout almost the entire Soviet era and into the present day.

Although there were two palaces belonging to the notorius Beldiman family in Iași, Romania, only the smaller of the two has survived to this day (I have already written about the larger palace here).

It is currently undergoing restoration, but even in its current state, details such as this neo-Gothic portico look quite picturesque.

An interesting cherub above the royal doors of the iconostasis in the baroque wooden church of Saint Nicholas, Gdow, Russia, destroyed in the Second World War.

Byzantine church remains at the side of Santissima Annunziata cathedral in Castro, Italy.

The original building, above which the Romanesque cathedral was later erected, was turned into its crypt and subsequently forgotten, only to be revealed in the XX century.

The main post office building in Kruševac, Serbia, built in the late Serbian-Byzantine Revival style, was erected shortly before World War II and skilfully used architectural trends popular at the time to convey a medieval spirit.

Unfortunately, this same adherence to trends later played a cruel joke on it - the building was too easy to convert into a modernist structure, and parts in this style were later added to it.

The mansion of merchant Shadrin in Barnaul, Russia - one of the most beautiful and well-preserved monuments of wooden architecture in the city, moreover - it has recently been restored.
