Culture (page 1/3) The former Elementary School which has been restored with donations of people from Doriza is today’s Cultural Center where all cultural activities originate. It is built of stone and located right behind the church of St. John the Baptist (Agios Ioannis o Prodromos). Right at the entrance of the Cultural Center stands the historic tree “pournari” which in 1824 as set on fire by the Ibrahim but still stands alive being part of Doriza’s history. The Center started its activities in the summer of 2003 with the folkloric exhibition named “All that is left”, organized and funded by a group of Doriza’s citizens. |
