The Papazoglou School of Textiles is one of the most distinctive educational buildings in the center of Ioannina and is closely linked to the city’s tradition of technical and vocational education. Its name honors the benefactor Angeliki Papazoglou, whose funds were used to construct the building, which was designed by architect Pericles Melirritos in the second half of the 19th century.
Initially, it was associated with education in weaving, reflecting a more practical and productive aspect of education in Ioannina. Over time, the building has served various purposes, without losing its educational and public character. Today, it houses the Department of Architectural Engineering at the University of Ioannina, continuing its long history as a space for knowledge and creativity.
