A BUILDING WITH RICH HISTORY

A BUILDING WITH RICH HISTORY

1846 – 1852

The beginning of a vision

Megaro Arsakeiou was built by the Philological Educational Society to house women’s education—an idea that was pioneering for its time. Lysandros Kaftantzoglou designed a symbolic building at the center of a city that was just beginning to shape its identity.

UNTIL 1925

THE ARSAKEIO BUILDING EXPANDS

By 1925, the building complex was completed, occupying the entire city block in order to accommodate additional schools. At that time, the Arsakeio Arcade was also created. Architect Ernst Ziller undertook the redesign of the façades, adding the impressive domes at the corner of Stadiou Street, baroque decorative elements, and the distinctive metal canopy.

FROM 1930

A NEW MEETING PLACE FOR THE CITY

Due to the increasing commercial activity on Stadiou Street, the school was relocated. The complex gradually took on a commercial character, with shops even along the Panepistimiou Street façade, turning the Arsakeio Arcade—with its iconic glass roof—into a well-known shopping destination. The space hosted the famous gathering place for politicians, Sigalas Café, as well as the “Orfeas” cinema theater.

1954

THE KAROLOS KOUN ART THEATRE

In the historic basement of the “Orfeas” cinema theater, the renowned Karolos Koun Art Theatre was established, continuing its uninterrupted operation to this day.

THE 1990s

NEW USES FOR THE BUILDING

In the 1990s, Megaro Arsakeiou was renovated in order to also house the Council of State. At the same time, the Philological Educational Society inaugurated the Stoa of the Book, including the Halls of Word and Art, which hosted—and continue to host—educational, cultural, and artistic activities, along with the operation of the Free University.

THE BUILDING'S REGENERATION TODAY

MEGARO ARSAKEIOU RETURNS TO ATHENS

Legendary Food has undertaken the redevelopment and use of 12,000 sq.m. of space within “Megaro Arsakeiou” for the next 35 years. With absolute respect for its history and authenticity, every detail highlights the past while the building is thoughtfully adapted to today’s needs. In this way, a vibrant part of the city’s cultural heritage is returned to Athens, fully ready to welcome the future.

RETAIL & CULTURE HALLS

The STOA experience is framed by the “Culture” hall on Pesmazoglou Street and the “Retail” hall on Stadiou Street.

 

The cultural experiences of  STOA are already enriched by the Greek Art Theater Karolos Koun with performances for all ages, the Europa Experience—an interactive space found in every European capital with free admission—and the Open University, soon to be reopened by the Philekpaideutiki Etaireia.

 

Stadiou Street already hosts a comfortable shopping experience with stores including Nike, BSB, Lacoste, and The Bostonians.
