Omonia Square is one of the central squares located in a lively area of the capital. It dates back to the 19th century. It was planned as Palace Square (the construction of a royal palace was planned). After the overthrow of King Otto I of Greece, it was renamed Omonia Square. The territory was ennobled, trees were planted, lighting was provided. It has become a favorite place for meetings and walks. In the early 20th century, fountains were completed, boutiques, hotels, metro appeared. Scenes in the square often began to appear in films of the time.
