The Academy of Athens is Greece's national academy, and the highest research establishment in the country. It was established in 1926.

The Academy's main building is one of the major landmarks of Athens. (Information from Wikipedia)

I was there before few weeks so I took the chance to take some photos with these majestic buildings! These buldings was designed by the Danish architect Theophil Freiherr von Hansen, as part of his famous Trilogy of neo-classical buildings of the Academy of Athens.
