The Old Heroon

It is located in the little grove opposite to the Archeological Museum. It is the work of the talented local sculptor Peter Moschidis and it is made of pure marble in 1930. The names of 63 people from Komotini, who were sacrificed in the Greek-Italian war of 1940-41, are graven on the lately added two big marble plaques. The Memorial is not used today but it lies deep within the heart of the whole city, because among other things, is an important work of art.

We built this website with love, in order to promote our homeland and give the opportunity for the people who also love our city to be able to show to the rest of the world how fun and interesting can be to live in or visit Komotini.
