Harvard University, the most famous educational institution in the United States, has a new base in the historic city of Nafplion in Greece. It is a modern Centre for Hellenic Studies, which constitutes Harvard University’s first facility for international programs in continental Europe.
The site carries an immense symbolic weight, as Nafplion was the first capital of the Modern Greek state in 1821, during a hard-fought rebellion against the Ottoman Empire. It was also the seaport of the Mycenaean empire, a crossroads of Hellenic culture. The Centre for Hellenic Studies is located in a beautiful neoclassical building, which accommodated the first town hall of Nafplion.
It offers excellent infrastructures of videoconference and an equipped digital library for students and visitors who can have access to the digital sources of Harvard University.
