The Old Primary School in Mastoratika, located in Lakka on Paxos, was constructed in 1906. This single-story building is a notable example of neoclassical architecture and reflects the educational advancements of that era.
The design of the school features a triangular pediment above the main entrance door, a classic element that adds a distinguished touch to the building. The facade is characterized by a symmetric arrangement of openings, with vertical pilasters that enhance its visual appeal and provide a sense of balance. Projecting cornices further accentuates the structure, giving it a sense of grandeur and stability.
The school served as an important educational institution for the local community. For Yiannis, this building holds personal significance as it was where he attended kindergarten, as well as first and second grade.
Though it no longer functions as a primary school, the historical value of the building remains significant, and it stands as a testament to the educational heritage of Paxos.
