The present research paper "Patras 1829-1914, Town and Architecture", aims to record the history of Patras through its architecture in the period 1829-1914.

Initially, there is a historical review of Patras from antiquity to the founding of the Greek state. Then, the political context of the study period, social conditions, economic prosperity and industrial development are analysed. Emphasis is placed on the raisin trade that contributed significantly to the development of the town, with the modernization of the port and its facilities, as it was the main commercial port for exports and imports of Greece at that time. Then the architecture of Patras is analysed through the urban planning, the squares, the buildings and the galleries. According to the urban plan of Stamatis Voulgaris in 1829, Patras is divided into Uptown and Downtown. In the "new" Downtown, imposing buildings are being built, both public and private that host wealthy merchants. The most important buildings of public activities such as churches, hospitals, industrial buildings, markets and recreation areas are presented. In contrast, in Uptown the lower income classes are established, where due to the geographic location simpler houses were built. The architecture of Patras extends beyond the centre with the creation of villas. All the above types of buildings are categorized and analysed in terms of their typology and morphology. The contribution of prominent architects to the image of Patras is memorable, as well-known names built important buildings in the city.

Finally, there is a comparative presentation of the political and social "environment" of Patras from 1914 until today.
