Evangelismos Hospital, Public medical institution in Kolonaki, Athens, Greece.
Evangelismos Hospital is a medical institution in the Kolonaki neighborhood of Athens and is now recognized as a protected structure. The building displays typical features of late nineteenth-century hospital design with departments organized for specialized patient care.
Construction took place between 1881 and 1884 under architect Gerasimos Metaxas, with the facility opening on March 25, 1884. It operated as a charitable organization for nearly a century before integrating into the Greek national healthcare system in 1983.
The building has long served as a place of care and trust for Athenians seeking medical help within the city. The name references a biblical episode and reflects the religious roots that shaped many early hospitals across Greece.
The facility is located near Evangelismos Metro station, making it easily accessible by public transport. Keep in mind this is an active medical institution, so access to certain areas may be restricted to patients and staff.
The building earned protection status that preserves its original late nineteenth-century architectural details, ensuring its historic form remains intact. This designation makes it a notable example of how institutions from earlier eras can continue operating within modern healthcare frameworks.
