Vrysaki - A Neighborhood Lost in Search of the Athenian Agora

Summary

Central Athens was transformed by the expropriation and demolition in the 1930s of the Vrysaki neighbourhood at the foot of the Acropolis, to facilitate the excavation of the ancient Agora. This book details the expropriations, as well as the history of the neighbourhood, providing a vivid recreation of the community that was Vrysaki.
