Introduction

This is the square of the Greek Parliament building, which is the gathering place for various political processions. The unnamed martyrs' tombstone below is guarded by two soldiers in traditional Greek costumes. They perform a changing of the guard ceremony every hour, which is also one of the most popular photo spots for tourists.
