Mihai Viteazul National College, Secondary education institution at Pache Protopopescu Boulevard, Bucharest, Romania.
Description
Mihai Viteazul National College is a secondary school situated on Pache Protopopescu Boulevard in Bucharest, featuring a main building with distinctive cross-shaped windows. The campus includes a former chapel that was converted into a gymnasium for student activities.
History
The school was established in 1867 through a decree by Prince Carol, after two gymnasium classes separated from the overcrowded Saint Sava school. The founding responded to the growing demand for secondary education spaces in Bucharest during that period.
Culture
The school bears the name of Michael the Brave, a ruler who unified the three Romanian principalities in the early 1600s. The name reflects how this historical figure remains central to Romanian national memory.
Practical
The campus sits on an easily accessible site with clear pathways between the main building and secondary structures. The layout is straightforward, making it simple to navigate the grounds and understand the building arrangement.
Did you know?
During World War II, the building served as a field hospital that treated the wounded within spaces originally designed for classes. In the early post-war period, student unrest resulted in significant damage to the auditorium during a protest.
