Epi F.Villanueva Thank you very much Epi , for te comment and visit.

The building of the National Library of Greece, built entirely of marble, was designed by the Danish architect Th. Hansen. He delegated the supervision of the work to the architect Ernst Ziller. The creation of this marvelous building was the result of a donation from the very rich Greek brothers Andreas, Panagis and Maris Vallianos. The buildings housing the National Library of Greece, the National University of Athens, and the Academy of Athens constitute, according to the expression of their architect Th. Hansen, constitute an "Athenian Trilogy".

Greetings, Penelope.
