Royal Stables

The Royal Stables were built in 1835 and provided facilities for King Otto’s horses and carriages. The complex was located across the street from the Konstostavlos residence on Stadiou street and included staff accommodation (coachmen, jockey valets, etc.). The royal chicken coops were also housed here. As a result, the parliamentarians working in the neighbouring Old Parliament constantly complained about the noise made by the roosters.
