Eleni Tositsa

Eleni Tositsa (1796 – 1 April 1866; ) was a major benefactor to cultural and educational establishments in Greece, including the National Archaeological Museum and the National Technical University of Athens.

Eleni Tositsa was born in Metsovo, Epirus, in 1796. During the Greek revolution, she organised the buying and freeing of enslaved Greeks from Egyptian slave markets. After her husband's death in 1855, she inherited most of his property, which he instructed in his will should be used to benefit the Greek state.

On 14 May 1860, she donated a plot of land to the Hellenic State to provide a site for the National Metsovio Technical University, also known as the National Technical University of Athens or the Polytechnic; The name 'Metsovio' refers to the town of Metsovo in Epirus, the hometown of Eleni Tositsa and Michael Tositsas as well as two other benefactors, Nikolaos Stournaris and Georgios Averof. The street which runs between the museum and the National Technical University is now named Tositsa Street (Οδός Τοσίτσα).

She died on April 1, 1866, in Athens.
