Syntagma Square, Central square in Athens, Greece
The square features a large open space with fountains, trees, and benches, surrounded by government buildings and neoclassical architecture.
The square received its name in 1843 when King Otto granted the first constitution of Greece following the September 3rd revolution.
The changing of the guards ceremony occurs hourly at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, with guards wearing traditional uniforms and performing synchronized movements.
The square connects to two metro lines and serves as a transportation hub with direct access to buses, trams, and the Athens International Airport.
Archaeological excavations beneath the square revealed ancient artifacts, including a Roman bath complex and water supply system from the 2nd century AD.
