Technopolis City of Athens, Cultural center and museum in Gazi district, Greece.
Technopolis City of Athens is a large cultural center built within a former gasworks complex in the Gazi neighborhood. The site features multiple exhibition halls, performance spaces, and workshops housed in restored industrial buildings from the 19th century.
The site was originally a gasworks facility that powered Athens from the 19th century until the 1980s, when it closed. After closure, it was transformed into a cultural center while preserving many of the original industrial structures.
The name reflects its industrial past, and today the complex hosts visual arts, music, and design events that draw people from across Athens. Visitors notice how the restored buildings maintain their factory character while serving as stages for contemporary creation and expression.
The center is centrally located and easily accessible by public transportation, particularly by metro to the Gazi station. The sprawling grounds are best explored on foot, and visitors should allow time to explore the various exhibition spaces.
One distinctive feature is the restored control room of the former gasworks, which shows how workers monitored the complex industrial machinery. This original space offers a rare glimpse into the daily operations of a historical industrial facility.
