It is more of a park or square than a square. It is all planted with trees and bushes. Previously, it was part of the territory of a large Ottoman cemetery. The square is named after the Cretan Revolution of 1866-1869. It is decorated with 8 monuments and busts of heroes of those times and a white marble fountain called the Ottoman Fountain. The unofficial name of the square is "New Shops", reflecting the process of the city's expansion beyond the Venetian walls. Also nearby is the KTEL bus station, from where buses go to other cities of Crete.
