Guided Tours in Propylaea

National and Kapodistrian University of Athens

The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens opens its «home» to the general public and invites you to get to know the Propylaia, one of the most emblematic landmarks of the capital city of the Greek state. Founded in 1839 and designed by the Danish architect Hans Christian Hansen, the neoclassical building and its monumental precinct bring up the most acknowledged highlights of Greek national history.

During its remarkable history, the building’s indoors and precincts, except from educational activities, museums, anatomy halls, and laboratories, have also hosted a vast number of remarkable ritual events (statue and monument creating, anniversary celebrating, demonstrations, political gatherings, etc.), as well as the Greek Parliament and the National Library.
The building decoration, with more characteristic mural in the interior façade of Propylaea, is one of the most important iconographic programs of the Greek 19th century. The architecture and painting served a narrative framework that closely connected the historical periods of Greek national history, while the sculpture program focused on recent history: Statues of important persons of Modern Greek history and columns of fallen in wars, works of Greek sculptures.
