Built in 1937 by Italian architect Armando Bernabiti, the national theatre was one of several impressive buildings left from the Italian occupation.

According to Rhodes Mayor Antonis Kampoutakis, the restoration project will provide a cultural center with the hope of boosting cooperation with art organisations and companies abroad.
