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.

Visiting the Corinth Canal from the first stop of Athens westbound is the Corinth Canal with a length of 79 meters. The coordinates of the Corinth Canal are the deepest canals in the world. It is also a rare canal in the hard rock area. This narrow and slender waterway provides access from the Aegean Sea to The shortcuts to the sea in Ionia saved small and medium ships time and cost for the supertankers and container ships in modern shipping. The canal was still too small for the supertankers and container ships in modern shipping. The vast project of excavating the canal was largely built during the reign of Roman Emperor Nero in 67 AD Works on the Jewish prisoners in the Jewish colonies of the Roman Empire were halted in 68 AD 1892 a French company began construction of the canal 1893 completed by the Greek government. The long canal was provided through the Corinthian Isthmus. The sea shortcut bridge from the Aegean to Ionia straddles the highway bridge above the canal and the pedestrian trails for tourists provide a chance to take a photo. The water in the sunny canal makes a super dreamy blue-green monument. Next to it, I found a smiling Greek dog so cute.

The Parliament Building is a building modeled on the ancient tradition. The whole building structure is very special. It is also quite interesting to visit here. The interior space of the building is very special. You can see a lot of interesting artworks and unique style products.

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.

海布里岁月
Open Wednesday to Saturday!] Duffney Abbey is built on the site of the ancient Apollo Temple. The temple was destroyed by the invaded Goths in 395. Now only one Ioni pillar is standing in the original colonnade, and the rest is brought back to London by the Earl of Elgin. Originally built in the 6th century, the monastery was dedicated to the death of the Virgin. Due to its wealth and fame, it was looted by the crusaders in the 11th century. At the end of the 11th century, an unknown donor paid for the reconstruction of the monastery. The area was given to the lord of Athens in 1204, and in 1207 it was taken over by the Sidos and converted. When Athens was taken over by the Turks in 1458, the monastery was returned to the Orthodox Church. Orthodox monks were rebuilt again. It was used as a military station during the Greek Revolution. Between 1838 and 39, Bavarian troops were stationed there. 1883 and 85 were used as madhouses. They were badly damaged in the earthquakes of 1889 and 1897.
