In front of the Greek Parliament, right in the heart of Athens, you will find Syntagma Square, which together with Omonia Square are the main squares of Athens.

It was originally called the Palace Square, as the building that now houses the Greek Parliament, was once the Old Palace and residence of King Otto. After the Revolution of the 3rd September 1843, when the army and the citizens gathered in the square together, forcing Otto to grant them a constitution, the square changed name to Syntagma (=Constitution) Square.

Around the square you will find some of the top hotels in Athens, while the square is a hub for public transport with trolley bus stops, buses and subway station. Therefore, it is no surprise that the meeting point for Athenians coming from different areas is Syntagma, as this is how Syntagma Square is called for short.
