University of Athens

The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, which was inaugurated on May 3, 1837, was initially housed in a renovated Ottoman building on the northeastern side of the Acropolis.

Originally named the "Othonian University," after Otto, the first king of Greece, it consisted of four academic departments and 52 students.
