The work of Ernst Ziller is a landmark in the architectural history of our country. The architect from Saxony, a pupil of Theophilus Hansen, who decided to settle permanently in Greece, created, during the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century, many unique buildings in the spirit of neoclassicism and eclecticism, which have indelibly marked Athens and many other cities.

This edition presents fifty works of various categories (mansions, residences, shops, markets, banks, educational institutions, theaters, monuments, temples, etc.), aiming to make them known to the general public. The brief description and commentary of each building convey the social conditions under which the building was designed and completed, as well as its unique architectural characteristics.
