Monastiraki Square
Monastiraki Square, Market square in central Athens, Greece
Monastiraki Square contains numerous shops, food stalls, and historic buildings arranged around a central paved plaza beneath the Acropolis hill.
The square received its name from the small Church of Pantanassa built in the 10th century, which stands at its center.
Local artisans display traditional Greek crafts, textiles, and jewelry in the surrounding streets while musicians perform regional songs.
The Monastiraki metro station connects lines 1 and 3, providing direct access to the Piraeus port and Athens International Airport.
The square marks the intersection of ancient Roman ruins, Ottoman architecture, and Orthodox Christian heritage with modern Greek commerce.
