Greek school

Overview

It was built in the early twentieth century by Bulgarian masters designed by Greek architects and with funds from Greek emigrants to the United States.
Its walls are 60 cm thick and all corners of the walls, windows, portal and roof frieze are lined with red bricks, brought by boat specially from Marseilles.
It was intended for a sixth grade school and for meetings. The walls of the six classrooms were wooden, which allowed them to be easily dismantled and converted into a large hall with a podium and a grandstand at the bottom.
Today, the Greek school does not function as such, but has been reconstructed and declared a cultural monument. It is used for the creative base of the National Academy of Arts and every year a summer academy is held there, within which teachers and students from Bulgaria and abroad gather.
