Evros - Buildings

The capital of Evros is one of the cities that were created in the late 19th century. Previously, there was in the area just a small port, called Dedeagatch and it served mostly fishermen. However, with the advent of railway network things changed and soon Dedeagatch became commercial and maritime center. At that time were built most of the historic buildings of Alexandroupolis. Those preserved until today are creations of special architectural value and belong to the city’s attractions.

Tobacco Shop is probably the most recognizable of the historic buildings of Alexandroupolis. From the late 19th century its bulk dominates the city skyline. Buildings of educational character like the 1st or the 3rd Primary School are also among the historic buildings of Alexandroupolis attracting the visitors’ interest.

The Lighthouse is the most recognizable monument at the port, but the old Warehouses belong to the historic buildings of Alexandroupolis as well. The Mill of Massoura, the house of Antoinette and the Bishopric are only some of the places that a visitor must see by close.

Finally, the Old Hospital, is the oldest building of the historic buildings of Alexandroupolis.
