City of Athens Museum

City of Athens Museum : The Michelin guide review

The museum illustrates social history and daily life in Athens during King Othon's reign. On the upper floor, the reconstituted palace rooms include paintings in the Kasma Stathi collection. Beyond Klafthmonos, the horse-riding statue of Kolokotronis, a hero of the war of independence, Kolokotroni Square stands before the old parliament built from 1858 to 1871 by F. Boulanger and abandoned in 1935: the meeting room has been preserved and the outbuildings house the National History Museum.
