Summary/Abstract: European culture has its origins in the Balkan Peninsula, where most of the cultures of Europe developed: Greek, Thracian, Latin and Byzantine. Even the term Europe reminds us of a province-through to reach Constantinople. In the peninsula were preserved numerous monuments reminiscent of Byzantine art and architecture that has spread to the Catholic world.
