This interesting looking building was once the hub of telecommunications for Greece, established c,1854 (I think). It is the site where the first submarine cables were laid, in 1858, connecting Syros to mainland Greece via Pieria. Later, cables were laid connecting Syros and Chios, subsequently providing the first telecommunications to Constantinople and Alexandria.
According to this reference Greece under King George, "There are 8,958 kilometres of wire, and 186 telegraph- offices. The most important service is that of the Eastern Telegraph Company, with its head-quarters at Syros." The building later housed the Merchant Navy School.
The interior of the building is fascinating. Strange mechanical devices lay dormant amidst the call of squabbling pigeons.The structure was severely damaged during the Second World War, although restored in 1947 to house the TTT (Panhellenic Telephony Telegraphy & Postal Service).
Really nice pictures, and what an intresting story! It's a pity that they don't restore these buildings to their former glory....
ReplyDeleteMore essential, the get-in cost — that $1,909 ticket — is currently a large portion of the McGregor vs Mayweather Live cost of a similar ticket from when Mayweather battled Manny Pacquiao in 2015. So, it's still about $800 more than the least expensive ticket for Mayweather's battle with Saul "Canelo" Alvarez in 2013 ($1,187) and effortlessly dominates the $632 sticker price of the most reduced value situate at McGregor's most costly battle: A matchup with Eddie Alvarez in September.
ReplyDeleteBe that as it may, the countless tickets staying at any cost will probably leave this battle far shy of the $72,198,500 door record set by Mayweather-Pacquiao in 2015. The McGregor vs Mayweather Live Stream climate in Las Vegas may not satisfy that Mayweather-Pacquiao session, either. As the Associated Press reports , there are still a lot of rooms accessible online in the $300 to $400 territory at different inns, including those possessed by T-Mobile Arena proprietor MGM Grand.
