The Hellenic Parliament occupies the former royal palace on the east side of Syntagma Square. Built in the 19th century, the building is one of the main civic landmarks of central Athens.
Most visitors come for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the changing of the Evzones guard in front of the building. It pairs naturally with Syntagma Square, the National Garden, and the nearby museums along Vasilissis Sofias Avenue.
