Detail InformationEdit

The Agricultural University of Athens is located in Athens, at the neighborhood of Votanikos. The plain where the University is located was created by the perioding flooding of the Kifisos river. In antiquity the district of Elaionas (olive grove in Greek) where the university is located was considered among the healthiest of Athens.
The largest part of the site where the university is located was appropriated by Hadji Ali Haseki, an 18th century Ottoman ruler of Albanian origin of Athens and used as his personal farm. From his time survives one building on the University which is one of the very few of that time that still stands in Athens, though not in its original condition. After the 1821 revolution the plot was confiscated along with the rest of Turkish property of Greece and became the Ruf National Farm. In 1888, after the national benefactor Triantifillides donated money to create three post-secondary schools of Agriculture, one of them was created on the site. By some this is considered as the founding of the University.
Others though consider 1920 as the founding date, when the 4 year Athens College of Agriculture was founded by law submitted to parliament by Eleftherios Venizelos. No matter which date is used it is still the fourth oldest University of Greece, after the University of Athens, the National Technical University of Athens and the Athens University of Economics and Business.
