Inside the castle of Ioannina, is situated the Byzantine Museum of Ioannina.

Founded in 1995, the Byzantine Museum of Ioannina aims to protect and present all the findings belonging to the period between the 4th-9th century.

The building of the museum is inside the castle of Ioannina, on the site where once stood the seraglio of Ali Pasha, which was completely destroyed by fire in 1870. Before the Byzantine Museum of Ioannina was housed here, a military hospital operated on the site, as well as a Royal Pavilion used for the hospitality and leisure of the members of the Greek royal family.

The museum's permanent exhibition is divided into 3 sections, Early Christian, Byzantine and post-Byzantine. Among the exhibits of the museum, visitors can admire frescoes, icons, and other religious relics, sculptures and coins. Of special interest is the exhibition of silversmith, an art that flourished in Epirus, hosted in the so-called "vault". The exhibition mainly consists of objects coming from private collections of the museum donors, such as Archbishop Spyridon and silversmith Constantinos Ioannidis.

The Byzantine Museum of Ioannina occasionally hosts various temporary exhibitions, while featuring also a shop.
