One of the most interesting sights of the island is the Roman house or Casa Romana.
In 1933, the great earthquake destroyed Kos almost completely. The Italians, who then held the island, found the opportunity to redesign the town and carry out extensive excavations as they knew that under the buildings there were ancient monuments. The Italian archaeologist Laurenzi undertook the excavation and then the Italian Administration proceeded with the full restoration of the house, which was completed in 1940.
