The 11th and 12th centuries are thought to be the Golden Age of Athens’ Byzantine art. Most of the better known and more important Byzantine churches of Athens were built in these two centuries as part of a Christian reconstruction following the- campaigns of Emperor Basil II in the Balkans. Some of the betterknown monasteries were also founded in the same period in the suburbs of Athens.
