The Fallen Soldiers Monument in Agios Konstantinos is located in the central square of the village, in the Lasithi Plateau, and honors the residents who gave their lives for freedom during the liberation struggles of Crete. The monument stands as a symbol of collective memory and tribute to the heroes of the region.
“Agios Konstantinos is one of the villages of the Lasithi Plateau, with a rich history linked to the early cultivation of the region by the first farmers, who leased the plains’ fields from the Venetian administration starting in 1463. The village took its name from the Church of Saint Constantine and not from the name of its founder.
The monument is located a short distance from the village center, near the primary school and the Church of Saint Constantine. The area also offers a beautiful view of the plateau and serves as a point of interest for visitors who wish to explore the history and culture of Crete.
