Miaouli square is the historic square of Syros featuring architectural marvels that blend into a dreamy landscape of the 19th century with buildings that testify the existence of a great civilization. It is worth visiting the Town Hall inspired from Ziller that has been giving a special character to the area since 1898 with its impressive staircase of 15.5 meters width, the club that houses the cultural center since 1863 and the historical archives of Syros in a building situated next to the Town Hall. Of course the square also features the statue of the admiral from the war of independence Andreas Miaoulis. After several other names that preceded such as square Othonos and Leotsakou the square was finally named in honor of the admiral. An impressive music stage with embossed drawings of Apollo and the muses transformed the space into the ultimate meeting point of the island. Today the square is the heart of the political, social and cultural life of the island and the ideal choice for walks and coffee breaks at the surrounding coffee shops.
