Big variety of old, or, out of print books, due to epikera bookshop's existence the last 30 years. Visitors can enjoy a relaxing time reading or just getting informed about the greek literature.

4.5 based on 72 reviews
Opera Lirica di Roma at Palazzo Santa Chiara is an ensemble consisting of exceptional voices of Italian opera soloists accompanied by outstanding instrumental virtuosos. Our artists present a wonderful show, which is why they receive very often a standing ovation and positive audience feedback.

As a tourist, it was such a great opportunity to be inside of the Palazzo Santa Chiara for Opera Arias with the reasonable ticket price. A string Quartet, Tenor and Soprano soloists from Opera Lirica di Roma are all wonderful.The staff are friendly and kind, felt very personal and welcoming.

In 1964, the Hellenic State decided to found the War Museum, wishing to honor all those who fought for our country and its freedom. The design of the museum was undertaken by a team of distinguished scientists, headed by Professor Thoukidides Valentis of the National Technical university of Athens (N.T.U.A). On July 18, 1975, the President of the Hellenic Republic H.E. Constantine Tsatsos and the Minister of National Defense Evangelos Averof-Tositsas inaugurated the Museum. Its various activities include the publication of books, the establishment and maintenance of monuments and memorials and the aid to services and agencies all over Greece. The Museum’s exhibition areas are distributed over four levels (floors) and present images of Greek history from antiquity to the present.

We thought the adjacent Tree Of Peace Sculpture an apt countermeasure to all that’s recorded and documented in the museum. With a sweep from stone age to modern it is a fabulously comprehensive account of warfare and battle down the ages. A number of stone weapons are shown and while rudimentary they undoubtedly yielded a heavy blow. Triremes, ancient warships, that were instrumental in guarding and defending the Athenian empire are well worth seeing. The Greek struggle for independence from the Ottomans features voluminously. Horrors endures are powerfully conveyed in paintings such as Hunger in Athens by Nicholas Egon. Sculptural representations from this war include the heroic Markos Botsaris, amongst others. Liberation Celebrations from WW II occupying forces are depicted in evocative black and white photos. A Statue of Jerzy Iwanow-Szajnowicz shows the Greek-Polish athlete who fought in the Greek resistance and was executed by the Germans.

The Casanatense Library was founded by the Dominicans of the Monastery of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome and opened to the general public, according to the will of Cardinal Girolamo Casanate. In order to contain the Library collection the Friars built a new architectural structure in the area of the monastery cloister. The Salone (Hall) was designed by architect A.M.Borioni. The Library was already opened on November 3rd, 1701, only one year after Cardinal Casanate's death. The first nucleum of the Library was the collection of the Cardinal, which contained up to 25.000 volumes. Info on web site. Please, check hours: they are different between Library to Salone monumentale.

It looked marvellous on the clear azure sky day of our visit. Ascending the sweeping stairway we admired its marble and soaring columns. Housing the library for well over a century, the limitations on space and its infrastructure led to planning for a new library. This opened in 2018 as part of the Stavros Niarchos Cultural Institution towards the south of the city. Currently Greek newspaper and magazine archives are kept in this landmark construct. Plans for its future use are apparently under discussion.
