The '''Byzantine Museum of Veroia''' is a museum in [[Greece]], which opened in 2002. It is housed in the old Markos mill adjacent to the city walls of [[Veroia]] in [[Central Macedonia]], [[Greece]], on the boundary of the listed quarter of Kyriotissa. The museum's founding mission is to make known the monuments in Veroia and the surrounding area, which date from [[Byzantine Greece|Byzantine]] and [[Ottoman Greece|Post-Byzantine]] times, to make the traditions of the area known and to collaborate with other Byzantine museums in Macedonia to organize periodic exhibitions. The museum's three-storey building will house permanent exhibitions which will retain their artistic self-sufficiency. |
