The architecture of the Benizelos Mansion in Plaka reveals how an Athenian household functioned during the Ottoman period: grain, oil and w**e were stored on the stone-built ground floor, while the timber upper floor served as the main living space.
Most likely built in the first half of the 18th century, it is Athens’ last surviving konaki; in its courtyard, part of the city’s Late Roman wall remains visible.
