O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree…

Omonia Square has been illuminated for the festive season!

“For several years we did not have a square and there was a lack of light from the whole area. This special Christmas, we have Omonia Square again with the decoration it needs,’ Athens mayor Kostas Bakogiannis said.

 

It is recalled the redesigned square, with its signature fountain, was unveiled to Athenians earlier this year.

One of the largest water fountains in Europe in terms of water volume, the 30-meter-wide fountain shoots water 20 meters high. It has a total of 188 water jets and 177 underwater headlights.
