Monument to Plato

The monument to Plato is one of the famous monuments of Greece. You can see this sculpture near the Academy of Sciences next to the monument to Socrates, who was his teacher. Plato was not only a famous Greek philosopher whose works are still studied by the whole world, but also founded the first Greek Academy. The philosopher sits down and tells the audience his philosophical theory. The Academy building is built in neoclassical style, and the monument only complements this architectural masterpiece. The monument near the scientific building is a tribute of the Greeks to the philosopher, a small gesture of grateful descendants. You can get to the Academy to see the monument by subway to Panepistimio station.
