PALAZZINA

PALAZZINA

These are military buildings covering the needs of the Navy Base. They were constructed in 1935, in three, independent, rows:

1. On the road from the beach to the Hospital.
2. On the road from Leros Hotel to Eleftherias square (former Social Welfare building)
3. On the main road from Ag. Nikolaos to the Football Ground, the CASE  I.N.C.I.S. (INSTITUTO NATIONALE CASE IMPIEGATI DELLO STATO).

They are six complexes of two-storey residences of 4 apartments each. There are 2 on the left and 4 on the right side of the road. They were mainly inhabited by Italian non-commissioned officers; the residences of officers were in row A.

Another two complexes, of four apartments each, were constructed in 1940, on the road to the Port Authority (Navarchos Ioannidis Street).

Finally, the following buildings were constructed in Temenia, during that same period:

• The Electrical Company Building (SOCIETA INDUSTRIE ELECTRICHE RODI)
• The carbonated drink factory of the DOLIANI company &
• The Italian Cemetery (1936)

The coastal avenue (La Passegiata Sul Mare) was then constructed, and the typical small columns with the pipes between that were placed along it, a feature common in other Dodecanese islands as well.
