The Hellenic Parliament building, overlooking Syntagma Square, was formerly the Royal Palace when Greece still had a Royal Family. It is an impressive, neo-classical building designed by Friedrich von Gartner & completed in 1843. It has previously been used as a hospital & a museum before becoming the venue for the Hellenic Parliament in 1929. The plaza in front is dominated by the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier which is guarded by the Evzones of the Presidential Guard who wear traditional uniforms. It is a wonderful sight to see the changing of the guard which happens daily & on a grand scale on Sunday mornings at 11am.

A fine Neo-Classical building that is today the Offices of the Prime Minister only became so in 1982. It has had an interesting back-story since Dimitrios Maximos completed it in the early 1920s. In its time it has been the US Ambassador’s residence and subsequently a State Guesthouse for visiting heads of state. Because of space limitations in the construct there have been proposals to move the Offices to a more suitable facility.

We visited in mid October during covid restrictions. Plenty of space to watch the changing of the guard. You can get very close. It's also free, as you can't go in the mansion. Across the road is the national garden.
