About
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier stands prominently in front of the Greek Parliament on Athens’ Syntagma Square, a powerful memorial dedicated to all soldiers whose identities were never discovered. The low-relief sculpture of a fallen hoplite, flanked by inscriptions from Pericles’ funeral oration, serves as the monument’s focal point. Guarded around the clock by the iconic Evzones of the Presidential Guard, the site is a quiet place of remembrance that attracts visitors from around the world who wish to pay respects to the nation’s anonymous heroes.
