#Athens #Greece

Kolonos is a densely populated working-class district of the Municipality of Athens. It is named after the ancient deme, Hippeios Colonus.
The district hosts a multi-year football club, Attikos F.C., that was founded in 1919.

Kolonos is a large, historic district located in the northwest of the Municipality of Athens. It is served by metro line 2 and Larissa station, but also by the electric railway and the Attica station.

Kolonos is a densely populated area with minimal uncovered areas. Still it is a lively neighborhood full of traffic. It was heavily rebuilt mainly in the 1960s and 1970s. The hill of Ippio Kolonos (37 ° 59.7′N 23 ° 42.9′E) is part of the district.
In ancient times, Kolonos was considered the most aristocratic municipality of ancient Athens. It was a riparian municipality and was crossed by the river Kifissos, which today has been undergrounded under Kifissos Avenue.

HISTORY OF KOLONOS: Main entry: Kolonos Aigidia
Ippios (or Ippios) Kolonos was located in the plain of Kifissos, 10 steps (2 km) north of Dipylos and was overgrown with olive trees. It was called "Equestrian", because there was the temple of Equestrian Poseidon, patron saint of the municipality, which was destroyed by Antigonus Gonatas in 265 BC. of Theseus, Peirithos and Adrastos. Here was the statue of Kolonos, who gave his name to the municipality.

In recent years, the German archaeologist Ludwig Ross (1806 - 1859), who visited Athens in 1832-33, gives an eloquent description of Kolonos in his "Memories"
Christiane Lueth (1817 - 1900), a Dane who lived in Athens during Otto's years with her husband, the German theologian and philosopher Asmus Lyt, writes about the death of archaeologist Charles Müller, who is buried in hill of Kolonos: The great archaeologist Carl Otfried Müller died in Athens on August 2. He returned ill from a trip he had made with Ernest Curtius and Seller. Lyt buried him on the hill of Kolonos, where in the old days the temple of the Eumenides was located and near the Academy where Plato taught ... A beautiful marble monument was erected on the hill.

And the Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen, who visited Kolonos on a trip to Greece in 1841, describes his impressions of the natural environment of Kolonos:I was in Kolonos ... Here is buried the German K. O. Müller, who died a while ago and to whom science owes so much ... I leaned on the wet grave ... The mountain air was coming down cold and bitter .. There was a greatness in all nature, which even Switzerland cannot offer you.

Akadimia Platonos
The area is named after Plato's Academy, which he founded in the area in 387 BC and which continued to operate until it was destroyed by the Roman dictator Sulla in 86 BC.Excavations of Ancient artefacts began in 1929 and continue to the present day, under the auspices of the third General Directorate of Antiquities.

The area saw housing developments in the early part of the 20th century when Athens began to grow. An industrial zone was also laid out during this time. The area was mostly urbanised during the period after World War II and the civil war.

Present day
The area is densely populated, with people mainly living in five to seven-story buildings.

The two main squares are Akademia Platonos and Metaxa. The population is approximately 15,000.
