An important building, ornament, is in the heart of Athens: Stadiou 13. The Old House of Parliament, has been in operation from 1875 to 1932. There, were discussed the most important issues of the Greek Nation during the course of its organization, its internal economic problems, but also wars to recover Greek territories and of its adventures with leading the Asia Minor disaster.
The Greek Government in its effort to keep alive the memories of top Greek events and personalities of Greek history, rightly highlighted the inside of the building.
Today we feel proud that through it, we can show important pieces of our history to visitors both foreign tourists and Greeks. Of course there is another reason that we appreciate it greatly. The building as a museum is part of a historical trilogy called PNYKA (HILL Nymphs - ecclesia - ASSEMBLY of ancient ATHENS) - OLD HOUSE (PARLIAMENT) NEW HOUSE (NATIONAL PARLIAMENT). All three parliaments can be visited, there is a large wealth of information, reports and programs that can tap the visitor or a cultural group of visitors.
Our intention is to exploit creatively this wealth of history of Athens.
