Dragon houses
The dragon houses (Greek: Δρακόσπιτα, Drakospita)
or Draga (Δραγκά) are some 20 large, ruined buildings found in the
south of the island of Euboea, Greece. They were built with massive
stone blocks without mortar and large stone slabs for the roofs. 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.
