Metaxourgio is a neighborhood of Athens located northwest of the historical city center. The neighborhood is situated between Kolonos to the east and Kerameikos to the west, and north of Gazi. In the same breath, Metaxourgio borders with Plato’s Academy, Omonia, and Eleonas districts. It is frequently described as a transition neighborhood. The area extends north from Karaiskakis Square to St. Constantine Street. The district got its name from silk-spinning factories, which used to operate on the territory of Metaxourgio in the 19th century.

Metaxourgio used to be one of the poorest and the least attractive districts of the city. After a long period of abandonment in the late 20th century, it gained a reputation as one of the cultural centers of the Greek capital, thanks to the opening of several art galleries, theaters, modern fashionable hotels, restaurants, etc. In addition, the municipal authorities have launched the Metaxourgio Square Reconstruction Program so as to beautify and invigorate the neighborhood. In addition, many individual artists and small-business owners have contributed to the revival of Metaxourgio. Their galleries, small theatres, and restaurants have helped to create an atmosphere of artistic resurgence that now characterizes this neighborhood.
