The Academy of Athens is lauded around the world as a marvelous example of neoclassical architecture or architecture that draws on themes and aesthetics from antiquity, as filtered through a nineteenth-century eye.
Located in the center of the city and modeled after an ancient Greek temple, the building serves as a link between Athens’ ancient past and fast-paced present.
The beautiful structure also houses the nation’s most senior research institution.
When walking along the central Panepistimiou street, visitors are met with a splash of ancient Greek aesthetics amidst the bustle of the modern city when they spot the Academy.
