Byzantine churches

When I was more or less finished with the map of Romanesque churches outside Burgundy and within Europe, I got the bright idea to incorporate one of the remaining pages of van Boxtel’s website, the one about "Byzantine churches", on this map as well. That was a bit more work than anticipated, and the result was a bit disappointing, partially caused by the fact that standard software utensils I had used so far all of a sudden were no longer available.

The "old" map of  Europe

To figure out how on earth to work with the revised software I decided to produce a separate map for the Byzantine churches. That turned out to be quite successful, were it not that I could only see the map on my screen when I was logged in as the owner of the map; if I was not logged in I could not view the map. After a lot of trying, cursing and swearing (I was on the verge of throwing my PC through the window) I finally found, hidden deep inside the software, an option to make the map publicly accessible. The next step, but I will wait a while with that one, is to remove the Byzantine churches from the Romanesque map. Here follows a very concise introduction to this new map.

Byzantine churches in Europe and the Middel East

Other than the Burgundian pages, this page did not claim any form of completeness. It really was a subjective choice of the maker of this site, and not a choice based on the "best", the "best preserved" the "historically most interesting buildings in an area".

Colours per country, towns alphabetically ordered

1. The pins have the same colour per country , hence green is Italy, red is Turkey, etc.



2. The place names are alphabetically ordered per country.

A typical entry

3. Each entry (hence each church or building) has at least one picture, in most cases copied from van Boxtels website, where possible however taken from my own stock in various Picasa Albums. If the latter is the case a link to the appropriate album is included. Also the accuracy of the location on the map is given : 100% is spot on, 50% means in the right town,


but exact location unknown to me.
