Prosecutor's Office to the Court of First Instance of Volos

The Prosecutors Office to the Court of First Instance of Volos is located on the ground floor of the Volos Judicial Hall, an iconic neoclassical building erected in the early 20th century to accommodate the city's judicial services.

The building was donated by the National Benefactor Andreas Syngros and has been designated as a listed historic monument, protected by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and the Directorate for the Protection and Restoration of Modern Monuments. To this day, it remains one of Volos' most significant architectural and historical landmarks.

Following the devastating earthquakes of 1955, the Volos Judicial Hall underwent restoration works and structural reinforcement to ensure the continued safe operation of the city's judicial services.

Today, two major initiatives are underway. The first concerns the conservation and restoration of the listed historic building, with the aim of preserving its historical and architectural significance. The second is the construction of a new Judicial Hall in Volos, designed to meet the modern operational needs of the justice system. The historic building will continue to be protected as a monument of the city's cultural heritage.

The Judicial Hall is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped garden featuring magnolia trees, palm trees and other century-old trees, while its distinctive rose gardens further enhance the site's unique character.

Located opposite the historic Eleftheria Square, it has become a landmark for both residents and visitors of Volos, linking the administration of justice with the city's historic and urban centre.

Eleftheria Square occupies a special place in the history of Volos. During the German occupation of Greece (1941–1944), it was used by the occupying forces as a site of public executions and intimidation of the local population. Following the liberation of the city in October 1944, it became the place where the people of Volos welcomed the Resistance forces.
