Loggia // A loggia (UK /ˈlɒdʒiə/, US /ˈloʊdʒə/, Italian: [ˈlɔddʒa]) is an architectural feature which is a covered exterior gallery
or corridor usually on an upper level, or sometimes ground level. The
outer wall is open to the elements, usually supported by a series of columns or arches.
Loggias can be located either on the front or side of a building and
are not meant for entrance but as an out-of-door sitting room.
The "Loggia" of this residency was an architectural adding in 1865.The
building originally was built in 1840.In late 2012 we started the
restoration of the residency transforming it into a cultural museum
preserving it's most significant artistic and architectural phases.This
is the deconstruction of the Loggia in terms of preservation and
enforcement of its static value.It happened in autumn 2013.
The building is featured in an old greek film (1968) as Italian headquarters during W.W.II. In order to see it click the word LINK
