Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe House of Hadjigeorgakis Kornesios in Nicosia.jpg |
English: This photograph showcases the House of Hadjigeorgakis Kornesios, a significant historical mansion located near the Archbishopric in the Saint Antonios neighborhood of Nicosia, Cyprus. As one of the most important surviving 18th-century buildings in Lefkosia, this mansion exemplifies the urban architecture from the final century of Ottoman rule.
Hadjigeorgakis Kornesios, the mansion's namesake, was a prominent dragoman, serving as the official interpreter for the Sultan's Divan (Council) for thirty years from 1779. This prestigious position allowed him to amass considerable wealth and influence within the local Christian community. The mansion not only reflects the architectural style of the period but also serves as a testament to the social and political dynamics of the time. Today, the House of Hadjigeorgakis Kornesios functions as an ethnological museum, offering visitors insights into the rich cultural heritage of Cyprus and the historical significance of the dragomans.Ελληνικά: Η φωτογραφία αυτή αποτυπώνει το Σπίτι του Χατζηγεωργάκη Κορνέσιου, ένα σημαντικό ιστορικό αρχοντικό που βρίσκεται κοντά στο Αρχιεπισκοπικό Μέγαρο, στη συνοικία Αγίου Αντωνίου της Λευκωσίας, Κύπρος. Ως ένα από τα πιο σημαντικά σωζόμενα κτίρια του 18ου αιώνα στη Λευκωσία, αυτό το αρχοντικό αποτελεί εξαιρετικό παράδειγμα αστικής αρχιτεκτονικής της τελευταίας εκατονταετίας της οθωμανικής κυριαρχίας.
Ο Χατζηγεωργάκης Κορνέσιος, του οποίου το όνομα φέρει το αρχοντικό, υπηρέτησε ως επίσημος διερμηνέας για το Διβάνι (Συμβούλιο) του Σουλτάνου για τριάντα χρόνια από το 1779. Αυτή η θέση του επέτρεψε να συσσωρεύσει σημαντικό πλούτο και επιρροή στην τοπική χριστιανική κοινότητα. Το αρχοντικό όχι μόνο αναδεικνύει την αρχιτεκτονική του περιόδου, αλλά και αντανακλά τις κοινωνικές και πολιτικές δυναμικές της εποχής. Σήμερα, το Σπίτι του Χατζηγεωργάκη Κορνέσιου λειτουργεί ως εθνολογικό μουσείο, προσφέροντας στους επισκέπτες πληροφορίες για την πλούσια πολιτιστική κληρονομιά της Κύπρου και τη σημασία των διερμηνέων στην ιστορία της. |
