EDITORS COMMENTS
This souvenir card, postdated to around 1900, showcases a breathtaking view of Athens, the ancient and vibrant capital city of Greece. The image features three prominent structures that have shaped the city's skyline for over a century: the Academy, St. Eleutherius Church, and the Royal Palace. The Academy, located on a hill overlooking the city, is a neoclassical building that has been the heart of Athenian intellectual life since its establishment in 1832. Its grand architecture, reminiscent of ancient Greek temples, stands as a testament to the city's rich history and its commitment to education and knowledge. St. Eleutherius Church, with its distinctive red-tiled dome and cross, is an Orthodox church that adds a splash of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene. The church, built in the late 19th century, is a beautiful example of Byzantine architecture and is a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike. The Royal Palace, the official residence of the Greek monarchy, is another architectural marvel that graces the cityscape. The neoclassical building, completed in 1845, is a symbol of Greece's royal past and its connection to European monarchies. This souvenir card offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when Athens was a bustling European city, attracting travelers from around the world. The Academy, St. Eleutherius Church, and the Royal Palace continue to be iconic landmarks, embodying the city's unique blend of ancient and modern, classical and neoclassical, and Greek and European influences.
