Refurbished Omonia square to be unveiled on Thursday (photos)

The work had been completed a long time ago but the square was not opened for public use due to the quarantine

Newsroom May 14 02:11

The redesigned and refurbished Omonia Square, with its signature fountain now restored, will be handed over to the residents and visitors of Athens on Thursday.

Omonia Square was radically rebuilt with private sponsorships, regaining the fountain removed in previous overhauls, which is now 40 meters in diameter.

The work had been completed a long time ago but the square was not opened for public use due to the quarantine.
