== Biography ==<br />
Stamatios Kleanthis was born to a [[Macedonian Greeks|Macedonian Greek]] family in the town of [[Velventos]] in [[Kozani (regional unit)|Kozani]], [[Macedonia (Greece)|Macedonia]] in 1802.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=H1NoAAAAMAAJ&q=Stamatios+Kleanthis+Macedonia|title=Dream and reality: Danish antiquaries, architects and artists in Greece|last=Haugsted|first=Ida|date=1996|publisher=Archetype|isbn=9781873132753|pages=79|language=en|quote=Stamatios Kleanthis (1802-1862) from Velvendos in Macedonia}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=F1poAAAAMAAJ|title=Doorway to Greece: An Introduction, Not in the Guidebooks, to Life in Greece|last=Winterer-Papatassos|first=Mary|date=1984|publisher=Lycabettus Press|pages=82|language=en}}</ref> As a youth he moved to [[Bucharest]] where he studied at the Greek School. On 1821, as member of the [[Sacred Band (1821)|Sacred Band]], he fought in the insurrection against the Turks led by [[Alexander Ypsilanti (1792-1828)|Alexander Ypsilanti]] and was captured at the [[Battle of Dragashani]]. After escaping, he traveled to [[Vienna]], and then to [[Leipzig]], where he studied architecture. Afterwards he pursued his studies further in Berlin with [[Karl Friedrich Schinkel]].<br />
<br />
After graduation, he returned with his colleague and friend [[Eduard Schaubert]] to Greece, where they were appointed public engineers by [[Ioannis Kapodistrias]]. On 1832 they created a new city plan for Athens, which included wide avenues, gardens and grand public buildings and gave the first street names in Athens. The plan was however simplified by [[Leo von Klenze]], as it was considered too expensive. After disagreements with the administration, Kleanthis resigned his position.<br />
<br />
Kleanthis gained great wealth not only through architecture, but also through the marble quarries he operated on the island of [[Paros]]. Marble from his quarries received a gold medal at the London [[Great Exhibition]] in 1851.<br />
<br />
On 1862 he was seriously injured in an accident in a quarry and he was transported to Athens, where he died.{{fact|date=May 2018}}<br />
<br />
Kleanthis designed many important buildings in Athens, including the [[Duchess of Plaisance]]'s mansion in [[Penteli, Greece|Penteli]], [[Rododafni Castle]] and Villa Ilissia (today the [[Byzantine & Christian Museum]] of Athens). The [[University of Athens]] was initially accommodated in his house in [[Plaka]], which now houses the [[Athens University Museum]].<br />
