The Peribleptos Monastery is a Byzantine church carved into a rocky hillside in Mystras. Its interior is adorned with some of the finest 14th-century frescoes in Greece, depicting biblical scenes and saints in vivid detail. The church's cross-in-square architectural style, with a central dome, is typical of the late Byzantine period. Visitors can explore the dimly lit interior and admire the artistry of the frescoes, which remain remarkably intact.
