A land whose wealth of ecclesiastical heritage contrasts with its remote unassuming nature, far from any easy and straightforward path. However, even what is but a drop in a sea, speaks to the importance of this ancient culture and of the exceptional and strenuous conservation work.

Despite being fragmented, this gallery bears witness of the need, the persistence, and the stylistic flexibility of a style embodied by the Byzantine character: that is to say, of its eagerness to understand, and therefore to believe and hope. Just as many monuments have been destroyed by humans, likewise a small or large portion of what is presented in this book will also disappear: may these pages reassert the presence of a culture which, one hopes, will always find new and sincere lovers.
