The Parthenon is the main building of the architectural complex of the Acropolis of Athens, as well as the greatest symbol of the beauty of classical architecture in ancient Greece. Built between 447 and 432 BC, the imposing Doric-style building was created to house a colossal sculpture of Athena Parthenos made of wood, ivory and gold, which had a height of twelve meters.Entrance tickets are optional.

Erectheion

While the Parthenon was the most impressive temple on the Acropolis, the Erechtheion was built to house the religious rituals that the ancient temple it was built on housed before it, and shows the cultural maturity of Athens. It is an intricate temple, designed to accommodate the radically uneven terrain of the site, and to avoid disturbing sacred shrines, such as the altars to Poseidon (Erechtheus), and to Hephaestus, or the place where Poseidon struck the Acropolis with his trident.The temple is unusual in that it incorporates two porticoes (protaseis); one in the northwest corner which is supported by tall Ionic columns, and another in the southwest corner which is supported by six huge female statues, the famous Caryatids which have become the characteristic feature of the temple, as they stand and seem to casually support the weight of the portico roof on their heads.Entrance tickets are optional.

Tempio Di Athena Nike

Built between 426 and 421 BC to replace older temples whose remains are preserved inside the bastion.The small Ionic temple had a frieze carved in relief with different thematic representations on each side. The east side depicted a gathering of gods around Zeus enthroned, while the other sides featured scenes of warfare between Greeks and Persians or Greeks with other Greeks. The south side depicted the victorious battle of the Greeks against the Persians at Marathon in 490 BC, led by the Athenians. Few sculptural remains of the pediments of the temple are preserved.Entrance tickets are optional.

Temple of Hephaestus

The best preserved ancient temple in Greece, was dedicated to the ancient god of fire and to Athena, goddess of pottery and craftsmanship. It was built around 450 BC at the western end of the city, on top of the hill of Agoreos Koronos, and is a classic example of Doric architecture.The temple has 6 columns on the short east and west sides and 13 on the north and south sides. Its friezes and other decorations were damaged by earthquakes and invasions over the centuries. It is peripheral, with columns surrounding the central cella.On the eastern facade, there are sculptures depicting the labors of Hercules and the battle of Theseus with the Palentines, the fifty sons of Pallas. On the west side, sculptures represent the fall of Troy.From the 7th century AD until 1834, it was an Orthodox church, later a burial place for non-Orthodox Europeans and Philhellenes. In fact, archaeological excavations revealed many tombs. Reconstruction and excavation works are still in progress.

Tempio Di Zeus Olimpio

Its construction began in 174 B.C. and was completed by the Roman emperor Hadrian in 131 A.D. Its unusually tall columns and ambitious layout made the temple one of the largest ever built in the ancient world.The long side featured 20 columns each and the short sides 8 (octastyle dipterous). These were placed in double rows lengthwise and in triple rows on each short side. The columns are topped by highly decorative Corinthian capitals carved from two huge blocks of marble. Inside the cella were gigantic chryselephantine statues of Zeus and of the temple's main benefactor, Hadrian, who was accorded a status equal to that of the great Greek god.The temple suffered over the centuries and much of its material was reused in other buildings, so today only 15 of the columns remain standing.The site shows evidence of habitation since the Neolithic period.

Ancient Agora of Athens

The heart of ancient Athens, the focus of political, commercial, administrative and social activity, the religious and cultural center, and the seat of justice.The site was occupied in all periods of the city's history. It was used as a residential and funerary area as early as 3000 BC.After a series of remodelings, it got its rectangular shape in the 2nd century BC, but suffered damage from the various invasions over the centuries and was gradually abandoned.From Byzantine times until after 1834, when Athens became the capital of the independent Greek state, the Agora was redeveloped as a residential area, and work is still continuing. To uncover the entire Agora area it was necessary to demolish some 400 modern buildings.In the 19th century the four colossal figures of Giants and Tritons on the facade of the Gymnasium were restored. The Stoa of Attalos was rebuilt as a museum and the Byzantine church of Agioi Apostoloi, built around 1000 AD, was restored.

Panathenaic Stadium

Built in white marble between 1869 and 1870, the Panathenaic Stadium is the place where the first Olympic Games of our era were held in 1896.The first stadium that was built in the same place was built in wood, in 330 B.C., for the celebration of the sports competitions that took place during the Panathenaic Games, celebrations in which every four years the goddess Athena was worshiped through different competitions among which were equestrian, athletics, wrestling or chariot races, in addition to musical or beauty competitions.Today it is possible to walk through the marble stands where centuries ago the spectators nervously waved, enter the athletics track to put yourself in the shoes of the ancient athletes, and even climb the podium to have a souvenir photo next to the rings that form the symbol of the Olympic Games.
