Papaleonardou Apartment Building, Art Nouveau apartment building in Athens, Greece.
The Papaleonardou Apartment Building is a four-story Art Nouveau structure with detailed decorative elements covering its facade. It displays the hallmarks of early 20th century residential architecture and remains a notable presence on its central Athens street.
The building was constructed in 1925 under architect Konstantinos Kitsikis as a modern residence for Athens' upper-class residents. It was later designated for protection to safeguard its architectural importance for future generations.
The building stands on Patision Street and served as the home of opera singer Maria Callas from 1937 to 1945. Her residence there connected this address to the city's musical heritage.
The building can be viewed from the street and sits in a central location with easy access to other architectural landmarks around Athens. It is accessible on foot and fits well into a walking tour of the historic district.
The building was owned for decades by a fund for retired seafarers before changing hands in 2017. This connection to Athens' maritime world is a surprising detail that most visitors overlook.
