Stathatos Mansion

Stathatos Mansion, a stunning neoclassical villa located on Vasilissis Sofias Avenue in Athens, Greece, was built in 1895 by architect Ernst Ziller for the Stathatos family. This architectural gem features a symmetrical design with two wings connected by an impressive entrance and a cylindrical atrium, showcasing classical elements such as Tuscan and Corinthian columns. After serving various diplomatic purposes, it was acquired by the Greek state in 1982 and is now part of the Goulandris Museum of Cycladic Art. The mansion's rich history includes hosting the Athens 1996 Olympic Games committee, making it a notable site for both tourists and researchers interested in Greek architecture and history.
