Omonia
Square today has taken on a modern aspect.
Department stores, renovated hotels and sophisticated
neoclassical building facades have breathed
new life into it. The latest renewal of the
oldest square in Athens now is under review
following howls of protest for its total lack
of imagination and atmosphere as architects
turned the square into a concrete surface, a
concrete wall and a metal sculpture. Some greenery
was added afterwards.
