On Aristotelous Street in Corinth stands a neoclassical mansion, a domestic relic of the modern era. Its symmetrical facade, with a central entrance and balanced windows, recalls the architectural ambitions of a newly independent Greece, when such houses signalled prosperity and a connection to European style. The building is a quiet witness to the city's life in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a period of reinvention for Corinth. Nearby, archaeologists have uncovered layers of the city's deeper past, including Late Neolithic colluvium and traces of fortifications, theaters, and trial trenches, reminding visitors that this street rests on millennia of habitation.
