# Metaxourgeio

Athens, Greece

A central neighbourhood named for the silk mill built here in the 1830s, whose surviving halls now house the Municipal Gallery of Athens. Long a working-class and immigrant quarter, it is known today for street art, theatres and a gritty creative revival around Avdi Square.
