The Byronic Society of the Holy City of Messolonghi, has created the only "International Center for Research & Study for Lord Byron and Philhellenism" in Greece, with a comprehensive, standard literary and historical library (more than 3,000 books), with works by Lord Byron, works of others written about him, works around Romanticism and the Philhellenic movement of the 19th century but also works of other contemporary poets and writers.

The International Center for Research and Study for Lord Byron is the only Philhellenic Center in Greece and acquires special importance because it is located in the most glorious city of the Struggle, the only Holy City, the City of Freedom, Messolonghi, where the poet left his last breath, on April 19, 1824.

Already due to its international recognition, thousands of Greeks and foreigners, visit this Byronic-Philhellenic Center for free and participate in its activities. In collaboration with the Historical Ethnological Society of Greece - National History Museum, the Byronic Society has acquired two permanent exhibitions.

A) "Greek Revolution and European Philhellenism", with material from 100 paintings of Philhellenic Engravings of the 19th century, from the collections of the National Historical Museum (reproduction), with an accompanying explanatory Catalog of the Exhibition.
