In the area of the Archaeological Museum, an exceptional independent corner building of 1,300sqm is available for lease, with two entrances, which has been designated by the Ministry of Culture as a Historic Architectural Monument. The building was constructed at the end of the 19th century as the residence of a prominent military officer and, throughout its life, has had various uses before being revived—after its restoration—as a space for contemporary art. At the property, the structural framework of the building was reinforced in accordance with current legislation, a new staircase and elevator for disabled access were added, and it was energy-shielded with modern electromechanical installations. Conservators and a specialized architectural firm worked for three years to uncover, restore, and preserve the 19th-century ceiling paintings. The plaster decorations, doors, and cement tiles from the 20th century were transferred to specialized workshops where they were meticulously repaired and reinstalled. On the rooftop, graffiti from the period when the building was occupied were preserved and repaired as a sample of modern urban life in the building’s history, and a space for gatherings and lectures was created.
