Agnostos Stratiotis Square
It was called the square of the Unknown Soldier because of the homonymous statue erected in 1930 in the center of the square, the unveiling of which was made by Eleftherios Venizelos. The statue is located at the intersection of the waterfront and the new beach of the town. In 2014, a modern sun-clock was placed in the square of the Unknown Soldier (or Iroon Square) as a result of a team collaboration ofRethymnian scientists with local commissions. In every parade, wreaths are laid there as an honor to the soldiers that were lost in those battles.
