Lela Karagianni House

Lela Karagianni House, Resistance leader residence in Kypseli, Greece

The Lela Karagianni House is a two-storey building from 1923 at the corner of Lelas Karagianni 1 and Stavropoulou streets, near Amerikis Square in Athens. It is listed since 1995 as a historic monument, cited as a notable example of late eclectic architecture. A marble memorial plaque placed by the Municipality of Athens in 1987 stands on its facade.

The house was built in 1923 and became a center for resistance activities during World War II against German occupation. Lela Karagianni ran her Bouboulina resistance cell from this location and became a key figure in the liberation movement.

The street that passes the house, formerly Limnou, was renamed Lelas Karagianni in her honour, from Stavropoulou to Fokionos Negri. A marble plaque placed by the Municipality of Athens in 1987 on the facade records that the heroine of the Occupation lived here and used the house as her headquarters; it states she was executed on 8 September 1944.

The house stands at the corner of Lelas Karagianni and Stavropoulou streets, near Amerikis Square in Athens. It is a listed historic monument owned by the Municipality of Athens, so it is seen from the street rather than entered as a museum. Look for the marble plaque placed on the facade in 1987.
