The Byzantine Empire is best known for its exquisite mosaics, particularly during the 4th to 15th centuries. These mosaics often adorned churches and public buildings, featuring intricate designs and religious themes, most famously exemplified in the Hagia Sophia and the Basilica of San Vitale. The use of vibrant colors and gold tesserae created stunning visual effects, making Byzantine mosaics a hallmark of its artistic heritage.
