Former Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos will officially unveil the new monument built to the Greek revolution of 1821 in Paphos, the town’s municipality announced on Friday.

The unveiling will take place on the morning of October 12 at the town’s municipal garden and will also be attended by the town’s mayor Phedonas Phedonos, Education Minister Athena Michaelidou, and the monument’s architect Ioannis Koutsolambros.

The monument’s construction was completed in August, with Phedonos saying at the time that it will “inspire the next generations with the visions and values of the great struggle, and at the same time transmit to modern society, and especially to the youth, the appropriate messages.”

Kousolambros said the group’s goal was to “create a monument which will chronicle the epic but will also be accessible and with multiple uses, since visitors, and especially children, will be able to explore its various aspects”.

He added that the monument will also have QR codes, which people will be able to scan for more information and to read texts and see other works of art about the Greek Revolution.
