Syntagma (Greek: Σύνταγμα, lit.'Constitution Square') is a station on the Athens Metro, located at Syntagma Square in the center of Athens, Greece. It serves as the transfer point between Line 3, Line 2 and the Athens Tram. When the Metro first opened, on 28 January 2000, the station was the terminal station for both the new lines. It is a transportation hub for O.SY. buses and the northern terminal for the Tram. It is the busiest station in the Athens transport system, located underneath Syntagma Square, the busiest square in Athens. It serves Ermou Street (a pedestrian street full of commercial activity), the Houses of Parliament, various government agencies, foreign embassies and the National Garden.
Several of the architecture works were erected by Thodoros Papadimitriou, a famous sculptor and the station also includes a large archeological exhibition.
The tram stop of the same name is located south of Syntagma Square, adjacent to Vasilissis Amalias Avenue: it opened on 19 July 2004, as part of the initial scheme for the 2004 Summer Olympics.[1][2] The tram stop was a single-track terminus with a side platform until 10 December 2018, and reopened on 14 March 2018 with a dual-track layout and an island platform.[3] However, the tram stop (along with Zappio, Leoforos Vouliagmenis and Fix) was closed again from 19 October 2018 to 20 November 2020, due to concerns over subsidence in the underground riverbed of the Ilisos.[4][5][6]
Since 6 December 2021, the tram stop serves Line 6 of the Athens Tram (from Pikrodafni in Kalamaki, South Athens). The tram stop previously served Lines 4 and 5.
