Cyprus Square

Highlight • Monument

The Christos Grivas monument on Cyprus Square (Platia Kyprou) in Patras, Greece.  

The monument is dedicated to a Greek soldier who was reported missing during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974.  

It consists of a bronze sculpture of a soldier against the backdrop of the outline of the island of Cyprus, mounted on a large, hewn stone block.  

The left-hand marble plaque contains details of the memorial; there is another information plaque on the right.  

The square regularly serves as a site for memorial services and wreath-laying ceremonies in honour of those killed and missing in the Cyprus conflict.

ArtWalk mural by Vesod

Highlight • Monument

The mural is a work of art by the Italian street artist Vesod. It was created as part of the ArtWalk festival. Vesod (born in Turin, Italy) is known for his style, which combines futuristic dynamism with classical painting techniques. His works often depict human figures embedded in geometric shapes or crystalline structures.

This specific mural is part of the "ArtWalk" initiative in Patras, where numerous city facades were designed by international artists.

The painting is characterized by a fragmented representation of a female figure that appears to be in motion through prismatic and transparent planes.

The Karnagio shipyard in Patras is considered one of the last places in the city where the art of traditional wooden shipbuilding (tarsanas) is still practiced.

In recent years, the shipyard has faced closure several times. However, thanks to the dedication of local craftsmen, it has been able to continue operating.

Here, ships are still lifted onto wooden supports in the traditional way and repaired by hand, often without modern cranes or slipways.

While all fishing boats used to be made of wood, the proliferation of fiberglass (GRP) boats and EU scrappage incentives for old fishing vessels have led to the disappearance of many of these traditional shipyards throughout Greece.

This work was created as part of the 2022 International Sculpture Symposium. The event took place in the Antheia district (near the sculpture park on the waterfront).

The sculpture park is located on the Patras waterfront (Southern Park / Notio Parko).

Ten international sculptors created various works of art in stone there under the theme "1922-2022: Flight - Survival - Hope" (in remembrance of the Asia Minor catastrophe).
