Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Zografeion Lyceum (Turkish: zel Zorafyon Rum Lisesi) or Zografeion Gymnaseion-Lykeion (Greek: -- ) is one of the remaining open Greek schools in Istanbul. The school is in the Istanbul city centre in the Beyolu district and very close, a block away, to the Taksim Square which is considered the heart of the city.The school was founded in the late 19th century, as the growing number of Greek students proved to be more than the Zappeion and Panayia schools could accommodate; in particular, the School of Panayia ( ) had more than 800 pupils. The community decided to build a new school, and donations were collected from a number of people. Christakis Zografos, who was living in Paris at the time, made the largest contribution, of 10,000 gold liras. In 1890, the Greek community decided that the school be renamed after Zografos. An architectural competition was held, choosing a design by Pericles Fotiades. The school was inaugurated in 1893 and its first alumni were graduated in 1899.
