Any person you may ask, they will suggest you to visit one of the most vivid places in the town! This is a building complex of 3.500 sqm,  a landmark for the area that hosts the popular Christmas park, the Mill of Elves!This pioneering industrial building for its time was constructed in 1884 and played a crucial role for the general development of the city in the difficult years after liberation. Until its closure in the 1980s, it maintained its structure almost unchanged and the mechanical equipment is now almost intact. The building complex has been characterized as a historical monument because of its remarkable example of industrial architecture that time in Greece.In 1997 has been bequeathed to the Municipality of Trikala by I. Matsopoulos, a benefactor of the town and today is a historical-industrial park and cultural center. In the Mill you will find, among other, a summer and winter cinema, a theater, a cafe-bar and playgrounds for children!But not only this! After 135 years from its restoration the mill was introduced as an Industrial Museum of Trikala. The space is a unique museum open to the public, the only one in Greece and one of the few in Europe that was operating as flour mills. The innovation lies in the fact that the facility can operate as an actual mill, which means that can produce every type of flour. Moreover, the building houses the Museum of Agriculture too.
