National Reconciliation

The "National Reconciliation" is a 8-metre brass sculpture that symbolizes the reconciliation of Greeks after the civil war.

The sculptor initially thought of mounting an outer surface with gold or brass sheets, which would symbolize human passions and life on earth that is made possible by the sun. He also wanted the building of a staircase that would lead to the sculpture and a mosaic inscribed with the word "reconciliation". His plans were abandoned due to the high cost and volume of the project.
