The Embassy of Egypt is a building of late neoclassicism and internally follows the Hôtel Privé style. It is considered one of the most beautiful Athenian mansions. It stands out thanks to its location and proximity to Syntagma Square, but at the same time, the mansion contributes significantly to the architectural prestige of the area.
It was the Nikolaos Psychas Mansion and was designed by Ernst Ziller. The Egyptian embassy was housed here after World War II.
