At the northern side of the central square of Kallepeia, there is a Monument dedicated to the heroes and benefactors of the community, as well as to those who have offered so much to education and culture.
The monument is made of local stone. It was constructed in 2008 by the Community Council and the Association of Expatriates. It consists of three slabs, one for the heroes of the community, one for the benefactors and one for those whose work was a contribution to education and culture.
