Monument
The Garden of Heroes
The Garden of Heroes is located on the north side of
Messolonghi with an area of 14 acres, where the fighters of the guard of the
Holy City fought and buried. It is surrounded by a stone wall, which is a
reconstruction of the old wall which in the heroic Exodus was almost completely
destroyed. The reconstruction order was given by Othonas in 1838 and the first
tree planting took place in 1858 with trees that was sent by Queen Amalia.
Inside the Garden there are 71 monuments of Greeks and Philhellenes as well as many
crosses from fighters of Messolonghi who fell at the heroic Exodus.
