In fact, the Archaeological museum counts on some of the most important Byzantine and post-Byzantine monuments, in many cases belonging to the second half of the 6th century, along with Byzantine registers and early Christian capitals and pictures, which were taken from Nimborios.
Another interesting site related to this settlement is the monastery of Kyra, as it can be found on the way from Nimborios to Nikia, a picturesque village which main square has been awarded because of its elliptic shape.
