Benizelos Mansion, Ottoman noble residence in Plaka, Greece.
The mansion features a two-story rectangular structure spanning 9.30 by 23.70 meters with stone walls and timber framing on the upper level.
Built in the early 18th century, this residence belonged to the aristocratic Benizelos-Paliologos family until Greece gained independence from Ottoman rule in 1821.
The mansion includes traditional elements such as the ontas for daily activities and a hayiati open passageway, reflecting Ottoman-era architectural styles.
Located at 96 Adrianou Street, the museum opens daily except Wednesdays, with varying morning hours and closes at 21:00, offering wheelchair accessibility.
The building contains an original wine and olive press in its back courtyard, along with large storage pithoi for grains and oil production.
