The center of the square was decorated until September 2022 by a sculpture called "Τρεις Έρωτες" ("Three Loves"), dated back to 1909.^[2] The sculpture was removed due to the works for the construction of a metro station for the Line 4 of the Athens metro.^[3] The construction of the aforementioned station has sparked controversies and a series of protests against it, on grounds of destroying part of the area's few green spaces and contributing to the gentrification of a historically politically active neighborhood.^[4][5]
