Behind the impressive facade of Bellenis lie many interesting stories: war history, Lerian traditions, medical equipment from the 19th and 20th centuries, art made by the political prisoners held in Leros during the dictatorship 1967-1974 .The building from the 1920's itself is interesting enough.

This is a huge Castle, mostly in ruins, with absolutely fantastic views! Exploring all around the grounds was fun, but there wasn't many informational signs on the history. There are also several medieval, cave-like churches and the Ecclesiastical Museum at Our Lady of Kastro aka Historical Museum on Byzantine Art and Antiquities aka Antonelos Museum. There was an enthusiastic guide there who told us the entire history of the island, and many artifacts displayed. We were staying a week on Leros in September 2019 and I'm so glad I visited here! I took a taxi up for 10 Euro then walked down the stairs to Agia Marina where our Airbnb was.
