Church of St. Athanasius of Mouzaki

The frescoes are remarkable for depicting for the first time in Byzantine iconography, Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary in imperial costume.

Within the church is also a fresco of Saint George who is painted rather strange and particularly odd in the Byzantine-styled art.

He is wearing a mantle and a cloak that has a double-headed eagle with a star in the middle, similar to the one that the Byzantine emperor John V Palaiologos rewarded to Andrea II Muzaka from his victory over Vukašin of Serbia.

This could possibly imply that during the Middle Ages, Andrea was viewed as a great warrior of God by the Albanian people.

[6][7][8] The church influenced greatly the artistic production of Kastoria and Western Macedonia in the late 14th and early 15th century.
