Presidential MansionThe Presidential Mansion is the official residence of the president of the Hellenic Republic. It served previously as the Royal Palace until the abolition of the monarchy by the 1973 referendum. The Presidential Mansion in Athens is considered to be one of the best examples of neoclassicism in town planning.
- Admire the Academy of Athens that stands on the far-right end of the Athenian Trilogy complex. Its construction lasted a little less than three decades, from 1859 to 1885. Its impeccable design with the use of Pentelic marble has made the building a world-renowned monument, widely considered to be one of the best examples of neoclassical architecture on the globe. In front of it, you’ll get the chance to marvel at Socrates and Plato, the most important philosophers in Greek history, on each side of the building. (pass by)
- The Univercity of Athens or Panepistimio is decorated at the inside by a colossal 45-meter mural that is both extravagant and pompous. At the entrance of the building, you’ll see five different statues of five different but equally important men in the shaping of Athens as a modern capital city. From left to right, the statutes depict philhellene William Ewart Gladstone, the scholar Adamantios Korais, the first governor of Greece Ioannis Kapodistrias, politician and strategist Rigas Feraios and finally Gregory the Fifth, the Patriarch of Constantinople. (pass by)
- Admire the National Library of Athens, constructed during the last decade of the 19th century with the purpose of preserving the intellectual heritage of Greece. Its building features a splendid blend of Doric elements, minimalist aesthetics, and simple, straight lines that create a beautiful contrast with the impressive Renaissance-style staircase that leads up to the entrance. Parts of the National Library of Athens were built with the famous white Pentelic marble, the same material that was used in the construction of some of the city’s most important monuments that date back to the 5th century like the Parthenon and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. Until recently, in 2017, the National Library was in charge of safeguarding, preserving, and exhibiting over 2 million books, manuscripts, and periodicals. (pass by)
- The Zappeion is a large, palatial building next to the National Gardens of Athens in the heart of Athens. It is generally used for meetings and ceremonies, both official and private and is one of the city's most renowned modern landmarks. (pass by)
