The memorial is dedicated to Onisiforos Mihailoudis (Ονησίφορος Μιχαηλούδης), Anastasis Chatzigeorgis (Αναστάσης Χ’’ Γεωγής), and Georgios Alexandrou (Γεώργιος Αλεξάνδρου). All three of them were renowned benefactors of the village. The monument was commissioned by the local Community committee, probably in 1982.
