One of the most important and characteristic buildings in the centre of Kos is the Administrative Building (Palazzo Del Governo), a majestic, three-storey building that dominates the area with its imposing presence.
It was designed and built in 1930, based on plans of the Italian architect Fiorestano di Fausto, as part of a new urban plan drawn up after the 1933 earthquake that destroyed many of the city's buildings. The building is a representative example of Italian eclecticism, derived from the architecture of Northern Italy.
Today, it houses the Prefecture of Kos, the Court and the Police.
