Kapodistriako Orphanage, Protected heritage building in Aegina, Greece.
The Kapodistriako Orphanage features stone walls and architectural elements characteristic of early nineteenth-century Greek institutional construction methods.
Established in 1828, this orphanage provided shelter and education to children during Greece's early period of independence under Governor Ioannis Kapodistrias.
The building represents the development of social welfare institutions in Greece, marking a shift toward organized support systems for orphaned children.
Visitors can reach the orphanage building by following the coastal road from Aegina town, with guided tours available through local heritage organizations.
The structure maintains its original architectural features and stands as one of the earliest purpose-built orphanages in modern Greek history.
