The University of Athens forms part
of the so-called "Neoclassical Trilogy" of
the City of Athens: Academy - University - Library.
It consists of a group of built masses that shape up
a double "T", with two symmetrical courtyards.
The facade is strictly symmetrical to the arcade of
rectangular pillars, set-off by an Ionian-style entrance.
The bases of the columns and the capitals of the entrance
are perfect replicas of the equivalent found in the
Propylaea of Acropolis. The building follows the basic
aesthetic rules of early Neoclassicism, while at the
same time is adapted to the Greek Mediterranean climate.
The outside statues complete the entrance's composition,
that is evidently distinguished to "base,"
body" and "crowning" parts.
Today the building serves as headquarters of the University
of Athens, housing the offices of the Rectorate, the
Juridical Department, the Archives and the Ceremonial
Hall for official ceremonies of national esteem that
refer to the University community.
There is a metro station just outside Athens University.
Station Panepistimio is just one stop away from Syntagma
station using Line 2(red line).
