Eynardeion School
In 1830, with a donation from the Swiss philhellene banker Jean Gabriel Eynard , the Eynardeion School was built next to the Metropolis of Aegina. The building housed the first Central School, the school that prepared teachers (equivalent to the Pedagogical Academy), the experimental mutual instruction school, and for a period, it also housed the Greek Parliament. The architectural significance of the Eynardeion School lies in the fact that it is the first purely neoclassical building to be built within the borders of the Greek State.
