"Victoria" Square was once called "Kyriakou" Square by the Mayor of Athens Kyriakos Panayis, who lived from 1870 to 1879. His home was nearby the square. The new name, "Victoria", was given in honor of the Queen of England, for her action to return the Ionian Islands to Greece. Now, Victoria is a place where the old and the new come together. The "Art Deco" style of the square comes mixed with the modern cafeterias and snack-bars around, as well as the busy life that describes capital cities all over the world. During the unrest in Europe with the influx of refugees in Greece, the neighborhood of the square with a collective spirit participated in the solidarity effort to offer support to people in need.
