Scopeftirion
The Skopeftirion was a shooting range in the Greek city of Kallithea .

At the beginning of the 20th century, many expellees from the Greco-Turkish wars came to Kallithea and initially used the area of the shooting range as living space. More repatriates followed in the 1930s. In 1966 the buildings were finally demolished.
