House of the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation, Broadcasting headquarters in Agia Paraskevi, Greece.
The House of the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation is a four-story building containing numerous studios for radio and television production along Mesogeion Avenue. The structure houses production facilities, archives, and departments that support different areas of the public broadcasting service.
The building began operations in 1969 and formally opened in January 1974 as the main center for Greek public broadcasting services. It underwent multiple institutional changes between 2013 and 2015, housing different broadcasting entities before returning to Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation management.
The facility houses the ERT Archives Museum, which preserves and displays significant materials documenting how Greek broadcasting developed over many decades. Visitors can see the story of television and radio through exhibitions featuring historical documents and equipment from different periods.
Visitors need to present valid photo identification when arriving, since this is a government broadcasting facility with security requirements. It is best to check beforehand whether a tour or museum access is available, as not all areas are open to the public.
The building played a central role in Greek mass media history and was long the place where national news broadcasts and public addresses were produced live from the country. This makes it a witness to modern Greek broadcasting history and how the nation's television and radio services developed.
