Palamas house, Literary residence in Plaka, Greece.
The neoclassical building at 5 Periandrou Street features traditional Greek architectural elements with squared windows and ornate exterior details.
The house became the residence of Greek poet Kostis Palamas in 1935, where he remained until his death during German occupation in 1943.
The building represents a central location in Greek literary history, as Palamas wrote numerous influential poems and the Olympic Hymn within its walls.
Located near the Acropolis, visitors can view the commemorative plaque above the entrance while exploring the surrounding historic neighborhood.
During Palamas's funeral procession from this house, thousands of Athenians gathered to sing the national anthem in defiance of Nazi occupation.
