Heptapolis - European Union Palace
The luxurious building complex of the European Union Palace occupies a prominent position in the landscape of Heptapolis.
Once the visitor enters the Heptapolis from the Gate of Light and ascends the automatic stairs, he crosses the ground floor of the Alexander the Great Library and finds himself in front of the central square of Zostiras.
At the back of the square, the European Palace building dominates the square,
In the courtyard of the building, we admire two large Roman fountains. In the middle of the square, on a marble pedestal, we see the statue of Zeus transformed into a bull with Europa on his back. In the middle of the Cretans we admire statues with themes inspired mainly by Greek and European culture, which enchant the visitor.
In the full knowledge that education is the most important factor in shaping the social and political character of Europeans, the European building will be called upon to play a decisive role in the moral, intellectual and scientific identity of every European citizen, in the belief that, the evolutionary process of implementing globalization is taking away the individual grandeur of the mind, thought and reasoning of a European citizen who aspires to a dynamic identity commensurate with his or her personal standing in the European and international arena.
In the building of Europe, in the heart of Heptapolis, Literature, Arts, Science, Technology will be cultivated in a completely modern perspective, as befits European citizens who enjoy a history of existence of several hundred years.
The answers of the future lead to the need to restore the values that flourished in past centuries, when knowledge and perception of moral values played a primary role in human life.
Europe, in fact, has been charged with the responsibility of imposing Culture and Culture on a global level.
Within the European area there is Greece with its great deposits of Philosophy, Art and active Science, which in the new phase of European structures, seeks to play the role charged by History itself.
In the new political, economic, cultural and classical structures of Education, the new European Education will show its modern face by serving the purposes, as they will function in the building complex of the European Union Palace.
Only through Education will the identity of the European citizen be validated in the service of the rules of modern life, which Brussels could not provide.
