Old Mills of Kalamata

What can an old mill hide?
Moments from the history of a whole city!
An industrial complex that its current form does not remind of anything of the imposing building that was one of the most important industrial units in Kalamata.
The harbor was a source of life for Kalamata. It was the cornerstone of the great commercial development and its residential extension from the castle to the beach. And at the harbor pier there was an imposing building, the “Evangelistria” Messinian Roller Mill.

One of the most characteristic buildings of Kalamata and a monument of cultural heritage, almost forgotten today, that we pass it indifferently. Perhaps he gains the attention of some children who decide to explore it and discover inside the machines, administrative papers and sacks with the name of the mills, but they can not imagine that these old mills are inseparably linked to the history of Kalamata and they are hiding inside them Important moments from the past.

An old mill that tells us of the economic activity of the time, which shows social workers’ struggles struggling without party figures and the development of the labor element that was plundered by the German army with signs of occupation.
