Colour photographic view of Chalkida on Evia, photographed by A. Sofianopoulos from the south-east. Seen through trees and benches is the seafront promenade at Kripidoma, dominated by the Red House (Mallios Mansion), an emblematic neoclassical building constructed in 1884 by the architect Konstantinos Fleggas. To the left, a restaurant with awnings and outdoor seating can be seen along the waterfront, while to the right in the background extend the city’s multi-storey buildings.
