History
Siaga
Mansion of a homonymous engineer
Siaga Mansion lies at the intersection of the streets
of Vas. Olgas (Queen Olga) and P. Syndika. It was built in 1890, designed by
exceptional architect Xenophon Paionidis and intended to be passed onto the
family of banker Chatzilazarou.
The Euphrosyne, the wife of Pericles Chatzilazarou, the Honorary
Consul of the United States, bought the land from doctor Gr. Gravaro where he
builds mansion. The press of the time referred to it
as the American Consulate.
The Athenian architect Xenophon Peonidis chose to
construct a neoclassical style building which was his favourite architectural
style that followed most of his buildings.
In 1912, the Palace hosted the Royal family, but
later the building was purchased by the Siaga family, in whose possession it
remains today.
Despite the passage of time, the building
retains original exterior and interior decoration. In
1985 it was declared a protected monument.
