This building was built in the 1930 by Fascist Italy as barack for the submarine crews stationed in the island. After WWII it was turned into a a reeducation camp for the children of Greek Communists and into a technical school. From the mid 1950’s until 1967 it was a technical school with boarding facilities. During the Colonel’s Junta in Greece it was turned into a camp for members of the communist party. After the Junta it was abandoned and now it’s about to collapse.
