The Town Hall

The Town Hall is a typical example of 19th-century public administration architecture and was classified as a protected neoclassical building in 1979. It is built in a dominant position according to the new city plans set by King Otto’s architect Mirbach in the middle of the 1800s with the legacy of benefactor Ioannis Kotsikas and delivered to Karystos municipality in 1896.

The marble stairs lead to the magnificent entrance of the Town Hall and its inner patio. The tall windows are framed by grey-white marbles and the roof has Byzantine-style tiles, as well as a decorative apron. The building is surrounded by a large courtyard enclosed by a beautiful iron railing of the time and dominates the view of Amalia’s Square, among the largest in Greece touching the sea front.
