History

The Central High School was officially established on 20 May 1826, although it was actually built 7 years later in 1833. . After suffering heavy damage from the earthquake of 11 January 1838, the school was rebuilt in November 1842 and it had some 400 students.

Craiova's Central High School was renamed "Carol I Liceum" on 11 November 1885 by a Royal decree of King Carol I.[3]

It was re-built a second time after the 1977 earthquake that demolished a major part of its buildings.
