Imagine that you are in the area of Polystylon during the Byzantine era when the walls were being repaired to prevent attacks and important temples were erected such as the Aisleless Church and the Episcopal Church of the town. In the Octagonal Baptistery residents used to gather for christenings and they used the location of the bath not only for their daily hygiene, but also for social gatherings and discussions. Taking a tour to see the monuments of this small town we will look for information related to architecture, art, religion, burial customs and we will understand better the life style of Byzantines.
Let's start our tour from the outer fortification wall, looking for information about its construction.

Tour Guide: Excellent! Taking the way back, among the transverse walls and the surviving remnants of the north tower, going down the hill, we think about the end of the Byzantine small town of Polystylon due to the civil war that erupts between Palaiologina Anna, widow of Emperor Andronikos III and John Kantakouzenos, while the Ottomans are at the gates of the empire. The clouds of the fratricidal war, which was marked by unholy «alliances», are gathering in the area and the years of slavery will follow soon.
