Abstract
In the present article themes of Greek Orthodox society and prosopography of Kastoria during the 17th century are examined, which are combined with the donations, the offerings and renovation activities in the churches of the town. The information is drawn from the donor, votive and commemorative inscriptions and it is correlated to historical sources of the period. The unique donor portrait in a church within the Byzantine citadel represents iconographic elements indicative of a member of a strong local family with administrative duties.
