Kois Mansion (space for cultural events)

Built in 1860, the Mansion, residence of Kois family, is located in the heart of Hermoupolis, the capital town of Syros Island.
Expressing the classicism prevailing in the architecture of Europe at the time, is adorned with an imposing pediment, which occupies the entire facade. Decorated with an elaborate marble staircase in the interior and beautiful frescoes, the mansion is famous for its ceiling fresco, representing eight of the gods of ancient Greeks – Zeus, Hermes, Themis, Apollo, Dimitra, Athena and four leading features of the Greek War of Independence against the Ottomans back in the1821; Rigas Feraios, Georgios Karaiskakis, Theodoros Kolokotronis and Constantine Kanaris. The fresco is completed by a frieze panting, crowned with a brim which leads to an ornamentation typical of the Ionic order.

Now open to the public, as well as to school groups, the mansion is available for touring an opulent piece of history and get a glimpse of the glories of another era. For more information, please contact us.
