The Consulate General of Munich for the 200th anniversary of the Greek Revolution on March 25 will symbolically illuminate the colors of the Greek flag on two iconic buildings in Munich, greekcitytimes.com reports.
The lighting of the Propylaea and the Olympiaturm will commence on March 25 at 19:00.
The Propylaea was constructed between 1854 and 1862 and was designed by Leo von Klenze – an ardent supporter of Greek architecture.
It was financed by the Bavarian king and father of Otto, Louis I.
The Propylaea has clear references to Greece through its architectural design and sculptures.
Finally, in the inner part of the Propylaea are written in Greek the names of philhellenes and Greek fighters from the War of Independence.
