Housed in the building that once served as the first Greek House of Parliament, the National Historical Museum offers a poignant journey through Greece’s past, beginning with the fall of the Byzantine Empire in 1453. Through an evocative collection of archival materials, images, costumes and flags, the museum vividly recounts the country’s rich and tumultuous history. At the heart of the museum stands the striking bronze statue of General Theodoros Kolokotronis – a symbol of Greece’s fight for independence and a powerful emblem of national pride. Situated just in front of the museum's entrance, it welcomes visitors to explore the stories that have shaped modern Greece.
