📖 About The Acropolis of Athens

The Acropolis of Athens is one of the most famous heritage sites in the world — a 2,500-year-old temple hill rising above Athens, a symbol of classical Greek civilization and democracy. A UNESCO World Heritage Site. At its summit stands the Parthenon, the giant marble temple to the goddess Athena, built in the 5th century BCE during Athens golden age. Beside it are the Erechtheion with the Caryatid maiden statues, the monumental Propylaea gate, and the Temple of Nike. Below the hill are the Theatre of Dionysus and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, which still hosts performances. The modern Acropolis Museum displays the original finds. Arrive early (opens 8:00) before the heat and crowds, or near sunset. Very hot in summer — water and a hat are essential.

📚 From the encyclopedia

The Cave Sanctuaries of the Acropolis of Athens are the natural fissures in the rock of the Acropolis hill that were used as sites of worship for deities of the Panhellenic pantheon in antiquity. Traditionally a sharp distinction has been drawn between the state religion practised on the summit of the Acropolis and the cult practice of the shrines on the lower slopes. Recently, however, interest has burgeoned in the individual religious experience or personal piety in Greek society of which these cult sites may be the expression. The proceeding description follows the order of the shrines from the Klepsydra at the northwest face of the Acropolis clockwise via the Peripatos round to the foot of the Nike bastion.
