Squares

Constitution Square (Syntagma Square) is the main square in Athens, the Greek capital, located before the Greek Parliament, named after the Greek Constitution approved by King Otto on September 3, 1843 after the uprising. Constitution Square is north to Vassileos Georgiou A Street, south to Othonos Street, west to Filellinon Street, east to Amalie Street. Below the square is the subway station, and the nearby outdoor cafes are a popular downtown gathering place. There are two green areas north and south of the square, planted with shade trees, and the center is a large fountain to spend the hot summer with the Athenians. The most attractive spot on Constitution Square is the Unknown Soldiers Memorial (Tomb of the Unknown Soldier) in front of the Greek Parliament building, built in 1928 to commemorate the unsung Greek heroes who died in the war to escape Turkish rule. The main body of the Unknown Soldiers Memorial is the Unknown Soldiers relief, an ancient Greek warrior wearing a helmet lying on a slab. On both sides of the reliefs are two famous words: "This is the tomb of the world's outstanding soldiers", "is the spiritual bed for the unnamed soldiers". The reliefs are inscribed with 11 place names on the bottom left and 12 on the bottom right, all places where the Greek army and the foreign-army have fought in history. Every hour, a presidential guard change ceremony is held in front of the unnamed martyr's tomb between the square and the parliament. On Sundays and official holidays, most guards participate in the changing of guard and are accompanied by military bands.

It is a very busy area - but has so many nice shops and restaurants and street vendors.It is particularly nice in the evenings (though more crowded) in the summer with the sun down and less heat.On the weekends it seems there are even more street vendors.

From 3000 BC to 1100 BC, there was a Minoan culture in Crete, and from 1600 BC to 1050 BC, there was a Mycenean culture in the Peloponnesian Peninsula. In 800 BC, a slavery city-state was formed, and the 5th century was the heyday.

The Unknown Warrior Monument is also a very unique building. The monument facilities are very novel and include a lot of good design styles. The entire model of the monument is also quite interesting. Every day, there are special guards and some modelling work.

Located in the heart of Athens, the National Park is a great place for people to relax in the afternoon. Now the Capitol is a private garden. The park was built in 1923 and is lush, quiet and comfortable. Sculptures, flower beds and small ancient relics are ornaments of the garden. The garden of the Zapion Palace, which surrounds the ancient social hall, is also here.

Hadrian's arch (Arch of Hadrian) is 59 meters high, 41 meters wide and7.5 meters thick. It is a triumphal arch in the Roman era. It is said that the arch was built to celebrate the visit of Roman Emperor Hadrian around 131 AD, and the emperor came here to donate a large amount of property to the city for the purpose of the new temple nearby, and for such a great honor, it is necessary to show respect in an appropriate way. Today, the Hadrian arch is still a symbol of the entrance to Athens, and there are 15 Optimus pillars at the rear, the site of the famous Temple of Zeus. The arch divided the city into new and old districts, with the east as the new city expanded by Emperor Hadrian, and the west as the ancient city. The arch's frame edges were carved with two inscriptions, each on one side. The side facing the Acropolis reads: "This is Athens, the ancient city of Tehus." The opposite direction is facing the new city, the inscription reads: "This is the city of Hadrian, not the city of Tehus." The famous building is supported by Corinthian-style coronal columns. Due to age and weathering and air pollution, the Hadrian arch was also damaged to a certain extent, many building details fell off, and the handwriting was more blurred. We can no longer see the original form of the Temple of Zeus and the arch of Hadrian, but only through the ruins of the broken walls to recall the glory of the time.
