Lela Karagianni House, Resistance leader residence in Kypseli, Greece
The Lela Karagianni House stands at 1 Lelas Karagianni Street near Amerikis Square, featuring architectural elements characteristic of early 20th-century Athens structures.
Built in 1923, this residence became a center for resistance activities during World War II, where Lela Karagianni operated her Bouboulina resistance cell against German occupation.
The building represents a significant memorial to female resistance fighters, with regular exhibitions highlighting the role of women in the Greek struggle for freedom.
Visitors can access the house via Metro Line M1 to Aghios Nikolaos station or buses 054 and 608, stopping at Kallifrona, with specific opening hours during Open House events.
The residence now functions as a technology center for Athens Municipality, combining historical preservation with modern municipal services.
