Omonoia square was not well known as the wikipedia page of the neighborhood shows. The square has been completely renovated with private funding. The objective was to improve the image of this neighborhood near the center and very touristy.

"It was very surprising to see a central district in Athens so contrasted with the surroundings of the Acropolis. The streets are narrow. Some of them are dressed. There is little vegetation. I did not feel in a historical center. " Caroline Leininger

"As we walked along, the city became greener. I took this photo because the two trees are very close to the front of the building."

The market place is full of color: fruits and vegetables, spices. The discussions give rhythm to the street and if you look up, you will see more street art.

In the middle of a shopping street and the discussions of the passers-by, a trumpet player.
