The House
The traditional art of Stone in Lagadia of Arcadia is the expression of the experience and tradition of a people who developed their knowledge on the management and transformation of natural materials such as stone and soil, creating works that have stood the test of time. The region of Lagadia in Arcadia developed this style during the 18th and 19th centuries, leaving an important imprint on the architecture and cultural heritage of the region. The guesthouse “Acrolithos” is an excellent example of this art, as it was built in 1896 based on the original architectural principles.
