      At the entrance of the city, next to the Gate features the majestic Statue of Liberty. The statue, of 5 meters height, is the art work of Cypriot sculptor Nikos Kotziamanis and is an offer of Dimitris and Helen Tassios, two
Expatriate Greeks who come from Evritania, and live in North Carolina.

    The unveiling of the statue which represents the personification of Freedom, was held on April 12th, 2014, by the then Mayor of Messolonghi Panagiotis Katsoulis and the Ambassador of France Jean Loup KUHN-DELFORGE

   It is a vital work of art that not only enhances the entrance of the city in both a cultural and aesthetical way, but also stand as a reminder of the importance of the of freedom, for the defense of which the Free Besieged gave their lives.

   The Folklore Museum of our city is a place that combines tradition and culture, which was completed thanks to the support of both donors and volunteers in order to save our tradition.

   It constitutes a new landmark not only for our town, but for residents of the wider region as well. A multitude of exhibits and rare old objects await the visitor’s eyes to be admired. The latters are given the chance to get to know our tradition, the daily life of farmers, fishermen and other social and professional classes, who used to live in the old Messolonghi. Tools that were used for cultivating and fishing, for food preparation and serving, old uniforms, such as the costume of Kitsos Tsavellas, clothes, a loom, photographs and furnitures, old radios, typewriters, sewing machines and many other things compose a scenery of another era, that make the visitors travel back in time.
