square, including the Archeological Museum, the former mosque of Aga-Pasha, the parliament as well the Trianon, which is the ‘Allilodidaktiko’ School.
A famous event took place right at this square. In 1862, when the Greek rebellion was in great need for finances, Georgios Gennadios, also known as the teacher of Greece, gave an extremely powerful and moving speech under the plane tree. The speech affected the locals so much that even the poorest woman, known as ‘Psorokostaina’, gave up her petty possessions for the cause of the revolution.
Today Sintagma Square is a breathtaking hub of activity. With café tables lining the streets, wooden balconies and Turkish fountains, it is a beautiful place and attracts many visitors. A perfect blend of old and new architecture, the Square has managed to retain its charm and hence its popularity.
