ACROPOLIS:
The Acropolis hill is the crown jewel of Athens and all of Greece. With the still standing Parthenon temple as its symbol, the Acropolis is truly a wonder of the world, containing four ancient buildings. The Parthenon was built between 447and 432 B.C. and most of the arte facts from the temple are housed today in the Acropolis museum near the Parthenon. Al soon the Acropolis, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion and the Propylea.
The THEATRE of DIONYSOS and ODEON of HEROD ATTICUS:
Just below the Acropolis hill are two ancient theatres that must not be missed: the Dionysos and Odeon of Herod Atticus. The oldest of the Greek theatres, built in the fourth century B.C., the Theater of Dionysos once hosted plays of Euripides, Aristophanes, Sophocles and Aesculus, could seat as many as 17000 spectators. The reconstructed Odeon of Herod Atticus amphitheatre is used during the summer to host the Athens Festival performances. Truly one of the most impressive ancient monuments in Athens, it was first built by Roman ruler Herod Atticus in the second century A.D. The theatre can seat 5000 spectators.
THE ANCIENT AGORA
At the foot of the Acropolis is the Ancient Agora, known as the commercial and public centre of ancient Athens. During the classical age, such notables as Sophocles and Aristotle taught there. Thesseion, one of the most intact of the ancient Greek temples, is located at one end of the Ancient Agora. It was first built in 450 B.C. Pnyx, hill on the west side of the Acropolis. In ancient times this hill, which offers a splendid view of the Acropolis and a must for photographers, was the meeting place for Athenians to decide issues. Philopappou Hill, topped with a funeral monument of Philopappos, a Romanconsul of the second century A.D. A cave on the Philopappou hill is believed to have been the prison of Socrates and where he drank his fatal dose of hemlock.
