Omonoia Square

Plateía Omonoías or Omonoia Square, located just a few minutes from Psirri, is one of the oldest Athenian squares, and one of the busiest intersections in the Greek capital. As such, it marks the confluence of at least six important avenues of Downtown Athens. Established in 1846 as Plateia Anaktoron, it was later renamed after King Otto and called Othonos Square till 1862. Omonoia Square is home to the Pentakiklon or the Five Rings and is often the site of festivities and celebrations.
