Pl. Eleftherias, Heraklion, Crete
Eleftherias Square is the main square of Heraklion, near the Archaeological Museum, the Astoria Hotel, the Prefecture and the Gate of Saint George.
Eleftherias Square, named for Freedom

This is why the name of the largest square in Heraklion sounds perfectly suited to its history.
