A journey from the Neolithic era to Byzantine times
Discover the centuries-old history of Florina, which stretches back 7,000 years. The Archaeological Museum of Florina houses findings from the wider region and invites you on a journey that will help you understand the local identity. Emphasise the treasures of the Prehistoric era (Neolithic, Bronze Age). Prehistoric tools, impressive painted pottery and everyday objects bear witness to the early organised human presence in Upper Macedonia and the way the inhabitants exploited the water wealth.
Continue with the peak of the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Focus on the inscriptions, coins, stelae and intricate architectural members originating mainly from ancient cemeteries and sanctuaries. Observe the simple pottery with rich funerary offerings, trying to imagine the social stratification and the rituals of the ancient inhabitants. Proceed to the collection of the Byzantine times, which highlights the continuity of life and culture in the region.
