Royal Naval College

The Royal Naval College was a Royal Navy training establishment between 1873 and 1998, in the centre of the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site in London, United Kingdom. The building was originally constructed to serve as the Greenwich Hospital, designed by Christopher Wren, and built between 1696 and 1712. The site was formerly occupied by the Palace of Placentia, built by Duke Humphrey of Gloucester in 1428. In 1998 the Royal Navy left Greenwich and handed over responsibility for the site to the Greenwich Foundation. In late 1999, the University of Greenwich began teaching in the Queen Anne, Queen Mary and King William Courts, and in October 2001, the Trinity College of Music began teaching in King Charles Court.
