In Meliggoi, the “Petrou Brothers” Folklore Museum serves as an important repository of local history and the daily life of bygone eras. Efforts to establish it began in 1986, and the museum was founded in 1994, housed on the lower floors of the village’s old school, below the square and the Church of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary.
Its exhibits, all donated by residents, are organized into five rooms and showcase tools, household items, customs, and aspects of the area’s rural and social life. This site is also linked to the memory of the benefactor Panagiotis Athanasiou, or Giannoplatis, who settled in Romania, amassed a large fortune, and in his will of 1890 bequeathed it to the people of Melinga for charitable works. The Giannoplatis School was named after him, linking the museum to the history of education, philanthropy, and the collective identity of the village.
