Fodor's Expert Review Memorial to Grigoris Lambrakis
Kentro
If you've read the 1966 novel Z by Vassilis Vassilikos or seen the 1969 Costas-Gavras film about the murder (clubbed to death) of Lambrakis, a left wing pacifist member of Parliament, by far right hitmen in 1963, this monument is especially moving. The murder precipitated the events leading to the 1967–74 dictatorship of the colonels. A dramatic bronze head and arm, above which flutters a sculpted dove, marks the spot.
