CRETE HERAKLION PREFECTURE THE SCHOOL AT ANO ARCHANES

CLICK TO VIEW ACTUAL PHOTO SIZE

An excellent specimen of a specialized building, one of the first structures erected during the period of the Cretan State. It was designed by the architect Salivero, one of Prince George's officials. The plans were completed in 1901 and the construction was accomplished thanks to donations of rich Archanians living in the U.S.A. The building is Pi-shaped in plan, has two storeys and a basement, it is built of stone and its roof is partially wooden and covered with tiles. It is a monumental but well balanced structure with many harmonic and elegant Neoclassical features. Since its construction, the building has been used as a school. During the German occupation it housed General Muller's division. The building was repaired by the 7th Ephorate during 1990-1995. It houses the two Primary Schools of Ano Archanes.
