The History of the Place

Over one hundred and eighty years ago, Klafthmonos Square was not the center of Athens. It may be difficult to imagine, but the area was sparsely populated with scarce houses. In 1833, Stamatis Dekozis Vouros built his residence here, which later became the Athens City Museum when it was connected to the neighboring house of Afthonides. This building complex was where Otto, the first King of Greece, and his young bride, Amalia, settled after their wedding.

In 1836, Queen Amalia organized the garden around the temporary royal residence. Known as “The Old Palace Garden,” it was the first public garden in Athens, featuring four entrances, a fountain, and a goldfish pond. It spanned the area of modern Klafthmonos Square and extended to Kolokotronis Square.

Although the modern garden of the Athens City Museum is only a fraction of the original garden, it remains a peaceful oasis in the heart of Athens. Notably, the palm tree planted by Queen Amalia still grows strong today.
