Μουσείο Παύλου Μελά

About the museum

The building belonged to the Kantzakis family, from whom the Prefecture of Kastoria bought it. The museum opened in the early 1970s and operates with the support of the Friends of the Macedonian Struggle Museum association and associated women's associations.

The house is a historic monument, because Pavlos Melas, a hero of the Macedonian Struggle, was killed here on 13 October 1904 in a clash with the Ottoman army. Visitors see traditional objects of the Kantzakis family, weapons from the period of the Struggle, and costumes and photographs of fighters from the Florina and Kastoria areas.
