Kotzia Square, Public square in central Athens, Greece
The square features an octagonal fountain with a sculpture named Theseus created by Greek artist Sofia Vari at its center.
Originally named Ludovikos Square in 1874 to honor Ludwig I of Bavaria, it was later renamed to Kotzia Square in the 1960s.
Archaeological excavations between 1985 and 1988 uncovered remains of ancient roads and burial monuments beneath the square's surface.
The square connects with four main streets: Athinas to the west, Aiolou to the east, Eupolidos to the north, and Kratinou to the south.
The location served as a venue for cycling events during the 2004 Athens Olympics and displayed large screens during the Euro 2004 football championship.
