Kalamata, Greece, won "Best Mural of the World" for a Callas-themed artwork blending local culture and climate goals.
Kalamata, Greece, has been named winner of the 2025 “Best Mural of the World” by Street Art Cities for a large artwork depicting opera legend Maria Callas as an allegory for the city.
Created by artist Kleomenis Kostopoulos, the mural blends local symbols—olives, figs, grapes, and native birds—with cultural and environmental themes, reflecting Kalamata’s identity and its goal to become climate-neutral by 2030.
Though Callas was born in New York, her Greek heritage and ties to the region make her a fitting symbol.
The mural, located in the city center, has boosted tourism, inspired civic pride, and encouraged more public art projects.
