The leading asset and flagship of Hermoupolis Heritage is the former textile factory of Zisimatos, the only one of its kind that is preserved intact with all its equipment, which is today a pillar highlighting the once urban but also the working life of the city. The factory was turned into a cultural heritage museum (Hermoupoli Textile Museum).
Having understood the value of industrial development for Hermoupolis and by extension for Syros, the factory was saved, not only the shell, which was maintained and repaired, but also its equipment. When the visitor enters, he has the feeling of seeing the factory at the exact moment it was closed, as this is an important detail of his identity: the closing of the factory was announced to the workers on shift, after a telephone order. The looms, the knitting machines, the dye vats remained as they were and the workers left.
Hermoupolis Heritage handed over the Hermoupolis Textile Museum to the local community and the visitor and is open to proposals for actions.
