About Place Syntagma

La place Syntagma est le cœur civique d'Athènes, en Grèce. Elle s'étend directement devant le Parlement hellénique, qui occupe l'ancien Palais royal. Son nom rend hommage à la Constitution accordée par le roi Othon en 1843. Véritable nœud de la vie urbaine, elle concentre les principaux axes de transport de la capitale et accueille, chaque heure, la relève de la garde présidentielle au monument du Soldat inconnu. La station de métro Syntagma, l'une des plus importantes de la ville, abrite par ailleurs des vestiges archéologiques mis au jour lors de sa construction.
