Karababa Castle Architectural Sculptures Exhibition : info and guided tour

Introduction to Karababa Castle Architectural Sculptures Exhibition

Located within the grounds of Karababa Castle in Chalcis, the Architectural Sculptures Exhibition presents a collection of sculptures and architectural elements linked to the local heritage. The site is set in a fortified setting that directly connects the collection with the built history of the city and its immediate surroundings.

The exhibition highlights stone fragments, ornaments, and architectural pieces that offer a close look at the craftsmanship used in the construction and decoration of buildings. The route provides a concrete understanding of the materials, forms, and uses associated with the region’s historic architecture.

Inside the castle, the display creates a dialogue between the exhibited remains and the site itself. This context helps visitors understand how architectural sculptures were preserved and integrated into a heritage space overlooking the entrance to Chalcis, near the Euripus Strait.

The museum is located at Νικηταρά, in the Xirovrisi district of Chalcis. Its appeal lies both in the quality of the pieces on display and in the setting of Karababa Castle, which gives this exhibition an archaeological and monumental dimension closely tied to the city’s urban identity.
