Syntagma Square is named after the Greek word for Constitution. The name of the square derives from the fact that Greece¿s first constitution was proclaimed by a reluctant King Otto from a palace balcony in 1843.

This palace is now the parliament and is the building that presides on the Square. In front of it, goose stepping evzones (soldiers) in tasselled caps, the traditional fustanella (a type of white kilt), and woolly leggings change their guards at intervals in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier; on Sunday just before 11am a full band and the entire corps parades from the tomb along Irodou Attikou to the rhythm of camera shutters.
