In 1825 Androutsos was placed under arrest in the Frankish Tower on the Acropolis of Athens. In June he was assassinated after being thrown from the tower’s top by former comrades. He was buried on the Acropolis. In 1865 the Greek government recognized Androutsos contributions and transferred his remains to the First Cemetery of Athens. In 1967 his remains were returned to Preveza and placed beneath his memorial in Androutsos Square. The statue is a work by Nikolas and depicts Androutsos according to the engraving by the Bavarian painter Karl Krazeisen.
