Unirea Lyceum, Focsani

Established in 1866, the Colegiul National Unirea  was initially called the Alexandru Iona Carzu National College. The name was changed in 1880, when architect Constantin Baicoianu began construction on the new school, which was finished in 1900.


A Salviati mosaic decorates the entrance gable, much like on the Roman Voda Lyceum from 1899.
