Eleftherias (Liberty) Square

At the beginning of the pedestrian street of M. Alexandrou Str., there is the historic Eleftherias (Liberty) Square, which is dominated by the Statue of Liberty, a female figure in an airy dress and raised arms declaring that freedom is the key component of democracy. The statue, made of brass, was created in 1973 at the expense of the Municipality of Katerini by the late Pierian sculptor Efthymios Kalevras and won the first prize in a Panhellenic competition.
