The Athenian Circle is a contemporary urban monument built in 2031 to honor the founding of the city. The masterpiece was designed to commemorate the sacred gathering area that existed on the site during Neolithic times, prior to the Mycenaean period. The form is said to have specific astronomical alignments that honor the city’s rich architectural history, although none can agree on the veracity of these critical nodes. It functions as a local gathering site and shaded plaza.
