DIMOKRATIAS SQUARE - CENTRAL SQUARE The central square of the city, is by itself a significant monument of Xanthi since during the last years some of its former glory started to appear once again. It was first designed in 1870 and ever since then, its design has been altered with numer- ous interventions, the highlight of which has been the construction towards the end of the 1880s of the great clock of the city. 13
