Villa Amalia, Anarchist squat near Victoria metro station in Athens, Greece.
The building stands at the intersection of Acharnon and Heiden streets, formerly housing the Second High School of Athens before its occupation.
Established in 1991, Villa Amalia remained an active squat until December 2012 when authorities conducted a large-scale eviction operation targeting multiple occupied buildings.
The location functioned as a center for political discussions, film presentations, music performances, and social initiatives focused on alternative lifestyles.
The building returned to its educational purpose in September 2016, reopening as a high school following extensive renovations and security measures.
During a reoccupation attempt in January 2013, ninety-two individuals entered the building, leading to their arrest and subsequent street demonstrations involving thousands.
