Housed in the Iliou Melathron, an exquisite neoclassical mansion built in 1880 by Ernst Ziller for archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, this museum holds one of the world's finest coin collections. Over 500,000 coins, medals, and gems trace Mediterranean history from ancient Greece and Rome through the Byzantine Empire. The interior dazzles with Pompeian-style frescoes and mosaic floors, complemented by a serene courtyard garden cafe.
