Construction of a monument in Paphos to the Greek Revolution of 1821 was completed on Sunday.
The monument is located within the town’s municipal garden.
Paphos mayor Phedonas Phedonos said the monument will “inspire the next generations with the visions and values of the great struggle, and at the same time transmit to modern society, and especially to the youth, the appropriate messages.”
The contract had been signed by architect Ioannis Koutsolambros on behalf of the architectural office of Lambrianos Koutsolambros Architects Ltd, visual artist Katerina Foukara, sculptor Arsentis Lisenkov, and company GM buildings Ltd.
Kousolambros said the group’s goal was to “create a monument which will chronicle the epic but will also be accessible and with multiple uses, since visitors, and especially children, will be able to explore its various aspects”.
He added that the monument will also have QR codes, which people will be able to scan for more information and to read texts and see other works of art about the Greek Revolution.
