Dragon houses

The dragon houses (Greek: Δρακόσπιτα, Drakospita) or Draga (Δραγκά) are some twenty large, ruined buildings found in the south of the island of Euboea, Greece.

The Dragon House on Mount Ochi (Δρακόσπιτο της Όχης), north of Karystos is the most famous and well preserved.

Other notable buildings are located in Palli-Lakka (Πάλλη-Λάκκα Δραγκά) and in Kapsala.

In local folklore "dragons" are not only reptilian monsters but also beings with superhuman powers.

[2] The French classical scholar Jules Girard visited Euboea and described the Ochi dragon house, and provided further descriptions of the three Palli-Lakka Dragon houses[3] The Swiss archaeologist Karl Reber has tracked down all reported buildings and published a report in 2010.
