The main attraction for Syntagma Square and a must see for Greece visitors. Originally constructed by King Otto in 1840, it served as the royal palace until 1910 when it was ruined by a fire. It reopened in 1935 and serves as the National Assembly. Every hour on the hour there is a great photo opportunity during the “changing of the guard.” On Sundays at 10am there is a special performance of this with a very large group of soldiers.
