Δήμος Καλαμάτας - Municipality of Kalamata has received a major international distinction, as the mural by visual artist Kleomenis Kostopoulos, depicting Maria Callas on the central Aristomenous Street, was named Best Mural in the World for 2025 by the international institution Street Art Cities. It is the first time a Greek artwork has won this global title.

For the artist, the work is more than a portrait: “Callas isn’t a commemorative image, but a symbolic presence — a body carrying culture between past and present.” Nature, roots, fruit, and birds emerge as symbols of identity born from the land and its people.
