MELAS MANSION

MELAS MANSION

The former Post Office, the largest private building of its time in Athens, was built in 1874 based on designs by architect Ernst Ziller. The complete restoration of the protected building’s shell was carried out in 1979 under the supervision of the National Bank. Inside, it features a closed atrium with surrounding colonnades. On the ground floor, its central hall is used for events and lectures, while a wing houses artworks from the National Bank’s art collection. The upper floors accommodate office spaces for the Bank’s units.
