Technopolis City of Athens : info and guided tour

Introduction to Technopolis City of Athens

Technopolis City of Athens is an arts and culture center housed in the former municipal gasworks of Athens, in the Gazi district, near Piraeus and the address Pireos 100. The site has preserved several brick industrial buildings, now a striking setting for exhibitions, concerts, and contemporary cultural events.

The site owes its appeal to this transformation of an industrial complex into an artistic space open to the public. The former production structures, large façades, and technical volumes recall its industrial past, while the current facilities host events related to music, visual arts, and urban creativity.

Technopolis is best known for the way it connects industrial heritage with modern cultural life in Athens. Visitors will notice the restored historic buildings, expansive courtyards, and exhibition installations, which together form a distinctive ensemble very different from traditional museums. This contrast makes it a popular stop for visitors interested in contemporary culture.
