Gheorghe Șincai National College (Bucharest)

Gheorghe Șincai National College (Romanian: Colegiul Național Gheorghe Șincai) is a high school located at 167 Calea Șerban Vodă, Bucharest, Romania.

A royal decree issued in December 1892 by Education Minister Take Ionescu established the institution as a classical gymnasium.

Upon the proposal of a teacher from Transylvania, it was named after Gheorghe Șincai.

In 1948, the new communist regime dropped the Șincai name, which was restored in 1957.

[2] The school building is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs, as is the sculpture of Șincai by Ion Schmidt-Faur, in front of the school entrance.
