"TIL Julius Chambers of the New-York Tribune had himself committed to an asylum in 1872, and his account led to the release of 12 patients who were not mentally ill, a reorganization of the staff, and a change in the lunacy laws"

#16 It was used as a munitions dump during the Ottoman occupation, and a Venetian bomb struck it during the siege of the Acropolis in 1687. Stupid Turks. Also, stupid Venetians.
