Ethnikis Antistaseos Square (Patras)

Ethnikis Antistaseos Square (Greek: Πλατεία Εθνικής Αντιστάσεως) is a central square in the city of Patras, Greece.

Originally the square was intended as a market, but it was planted with trees and became a public square known as "the Queen's garden" («της βασίλισσας το περιβόλι»).

After the fall of the Greek monarchy in 1974, the square was officially renamed to Ethnikis Antistaseos ("National Resistance Square") after the Greek Resistance against the Axis Occupation of Greece during World War II.

A marble monument to the Resistance forms a centerpiece of the square.

The square is lined with cafes and restaurants, making it very popular especially during the summer months.
