The Tzavellas mansion is a fine example of elite dwellings in the late Ottoman period and may have belonged to a Muslim owner before the Greek War of Independence (1821-1829). It occupies a central location near the walls and was once part of a much larger property with wells and smaller structures. It is a two-storey stone building with storerooms on the ground floor and residential areas on the first floor (three bedrooms, a summer and a winter living room, as well as a reception area). The plot is surrounded by tall walls for additional security. When Greece gained its independence, the mansion was given to the Tzavellas family in recognition of their role in the liberation struggle. Today it houses the Ephorate of Antiquities of Aetoloacarnania and Lefkada.
