Pyrrhus Square is the central landmark of Ioannina and the heart of the city’s daily life. It is located in front of the Epirus Regional Administration Building and serves as a meeting place, thoroughfare, and hub of activity for residents and visitors alike.

It was named in 1931 in honor of Pyrrhus, King of Epirus, though to most people it remains simply “the central square.” Its location, combined with its connection to key commercial and administrative thoroughfares, makes it a hub for exploring the city.

The square has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with the construction of an underground parking garage and the redevelopment of the public space, while new projects are planned to further enhance its functionality and aesthetics.

Today, Pyrrou Square is a vibrant urban space where daily life, commerce, and social life coexist, capturing the pulse of Ioannina at its most central point.
