Old Royal Naval College is the great baroque masterpiece of English architecture, set in landscaped grounds on the River Thames in the centre of the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site.
In 1869 the Hospital was closed, and in 1873 the complex of buildings became the Royal Naval College , where officers from all over the world came to train in the naval sciences. In 1998 the Royal Navy left Greenwich and handed over responsibility for the site to the Greenwich Foundation. In the Autumn of 1999 the University of Greenwich began teaching here, and were joined in October 2001 by Trinity College of Music. The grounds of the Old Royal Naval College, together with the Painted Hall and the Chapel are now open to the public daily. 82060206
