Schinkel’s project for a palace on the Athenian Acropolis was designed for Otto von Wittelsbach, who had been elected King of Greece in 1832. Friedrich Wilhelm, Crown Prince of Prussia, suggested in 1833 that Schinkel undertake the project, and the following year the Berlin architect submitted plans, sections, elevations, and perspectives, together with an extensive commentary. Schinkel’s project was conveniently layed out, modestly scaled, and successfully integrated with the antiquities on the Acropolis. It was not built primarily due to the severe economic restrictions then prevailing in Greece.
Ιεροσυλία!
“Elected?!?” By the English, French, Germans, and Russians but definitely NOT the Hellenic people.
wow, that would have been a crime against history
Perfect! Now add blackjack and hookers.

Άμα το είχε προτείνει Έλληνας αυτό (π.χ. Μαυροκορδάτος ή Κωλέττης) θα μας έπρηζαν τα παπάρια οι αριστεροκουλτουροαισθητιστές όλη μέρα με το πόσο μπουρτζόβλαχοι είμαστε που θέλαμε να τσιμεντώσουμε την Ακρόπολη με ψεύτικα αρχαιοελληνικά καρακατσουλιά. Έλα ντε που η πρόταση ήταν από Πρώσο αρχιτέκτονα και δεν ακούγεται κιχ.
