Trouba House

In Arta, a city that stands on the site of ancient Ambracia, a Corinthian colony founded in the seventh century BCE, the Trouba House preserves the residential traditions of the Byzantine period. It began as a metochi, a dependency of the Lower Panagia Monastery, and its structure reflects the domestic architecture of that era. The mansion belongs to a place layered with history, from archaic and classical times through the Hellenistic and Roman periods to the twentieth century, so a visit here connects a single building to centuries of continuous life in northwestern Greece.
