It includes the archeological site of Kerameikos and the old Gas factory, from which the area took its name.<\/p>\n<p>In ancient times, the area was inhabited by ceramists, because the soil was suitable for pottery. However,\u00a0because of a river, which recently came to surface again, the area could not be inhabited for long, so the Athens cemetery was built there. Today the archaeological site is open to visit as well as its museum, where artifacts from recent excavations are exposed.<\/p>\n<p>About 300 meters from the ancient cemetery, the Gas factory was established in 1857. It supplied Athens with gas, both for public lighting and for domestic use. In 1984, the factory closed.\u00a0 The Gas factory, now a cultural centre, was considered to be a landmark. The City of Athens undertook its conservation. The site today is a museum of the factory\u2018s history and technology and at the same time it is used for cultural and artistic events.
