Kotzia Square is a square located in the city of Athens, Greece. It is situated opposite the Athens City Hall. The court gained historical significance because of the excavation conducted there in 1985-1988 during the construction of an underground parking area. The excavation covered an area of 7,000 square meters and revealed several ancient streets, a cemetery, a complex of pottery workshops, and houses. Part of Acharnean Street, used from the 9th century BC until the second half of the 3rd century AD, was also preserved in the square. The cemetery had 672 graves of various types, including simple rock-hewn shafts, stone or tile tombs, stone coffins, terracotta larnakes, and children's jar burials. The grave gifts associated with the burials and cremations included terracotta vases, human and animal figurines, glass and terracotta unguentaria, bronze mirrors, gold jewellery, coins, and other objects.
