Plateia Kotzia was one of the gems of Athens in the 19th century. The neoclassical buildings around the square are silent witnesses to this, although some buildings are quite dilapidated.

Large and beautiful square with some statues and archaeological excavation towards the back. The fountain is captivating at night with its colorful illumination and water show after dark. During the day it's occupied by flocks of fat pigeons
