Palataki Tower
Palataki Tower and the listed buildings around it (the Gyzis murals building and the stables) are undergoing restoration works for their reuse as a cultural hub.
Located where Georgios Karaiskakis fought his historic battle against the troops of Kioutahi Pasha in 1826, this 19th-century castellated building is a prime example of romantic historicism. Palataki Tower also has several neo-Gothic features, and while some of the auxiliary buildings, such as the guest house, have been decorated with murals by Nikolaos Gyzis, they are actually neoclassical in design.
Over the years the tower has been used as a summer retreat by many of its owners; today the tower and its listed auxiliary buildings are being restored so that they can operate as a cultural hub for the town. The site accommodates other structures, such as an olive mill and stables, later converted into a snack bar.
Since 1979 the Palataki Tower and its surroundings have been listed as an historic location by the Greek Ministry of Culture.
