Radu Greceanu National College

The school was established in 1886 and declared a gymnasium two years later. In 1891, it was named after Radu Greceanu, an 18th-century chronicler. It is a leading high school of Olt County.[1]

The original school building was begun in August 1889 and completed in autumn 1891. A new wing was added in the 1920s, while an amphitheater and dormitory date to the following decade. Girls were admitted starting in the 1958-1959 school year, eventually leading to the construction of a second dormitory, completed in 1979.[2] This was the last major addition.[1]

The school building is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.[3]
