1. The National Academy (1887), was built by Ernst Ziller. At the entrance, the statues of Plato & Socrates will read your mind.
2. The National University (1837), the first university in the South Eastern Europe. Today it houses the Great Chamber of Ceremonies, where graduations are held.
3. The National Library (1902) was built by Theophil Hansen and Ernst Ziller. Since the transfer of the collection to a new location, the building has served as reading room.
