Syntagma Square, Central public square in Athens, Greece
The square extends across multiple levels with marble steps, featuring water fountains and trees that provide shade throughout the area.
The square received its name after the 1843 uprising when King Otto was forced to grant a constitution to the Greek people.
The Evzones guards perform their ceremonial duties at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, wearing traditional uniforms with distinctive movements.
The square contains a major transport hub with metro lines 2 and 3, plus connections to buses and trams for city-wide transportation.
The Hotel Grande Bretagne, constructed in 1842 on the square's edge, transformed from a mansion to a luxury hotel in 1874.
