Acropolis

The Acropolis hill (άκρον: the highest point and πόλις: city), also known as the “Sacred Rock” of Athens, is the most important site of the city and one of the most famous monuments in the world. It is the most significant reference point of ancient Greek culture, as well as the symbol of the city of Athens. In the 5th century BC, the Greek statesman of the Athens golden Age, Pericles, coordinated the construction of the site's most important remains, including the Parthenon, the Propylaia, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike. The Parthenon and the other monuments were seriously damaged during the 1687 siege by the Venetians during the Sixth Ottoman-Venetian War.

Tempio Di Zeus Olimpio

The Temple of Olympian Zeus, also known as the Columns of the Olympian Zeus, is a former colossal temple in the center of Greek Athens, dedicated to the Olympian god Zeus. The construction of the Temple began in the 6th century BCE by the tyrant Peisistratos, but was completed after almost 700 years by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in 131 AD. During the Roman period, the temple, which included 104 colossal columns, was renowned the largest temple in Greece and hosted one of the largest religious statues in the ancient world. Today, however, only 16 of the columns exist, with one of which is lying on the ground.

Panathenaic Stadium

The Panathenaic Stadium or Kallimarmaro is one of the main historic attractions of Athens and] it is the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble. It was built in the 4th century BC by the Athenian statesman Lykourgos (Lycurgus), primarily as a venue for the Panathenaic Games. It was rebuilt in marble by Herodes Atticus, an Athenian Roman senator in 144 AD and had a capacity of 70,000 seats. After hundreds of years of abandonment, the stadium was completely restored in 1895 by a wealthy Greek benefactor, Georgios Averof. The Stadium hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. It was once again used as an Olympic venue in the Olympic Games of 2004.

Hellenic Parliament

The Guards or the Evzones in front of the Hellenic Parliament are the members of the Presidential Guard, a ceremonial unit that guards the Greek Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Parliament of Greece. They stand motionless and they change hourly. Evzones are known for their distinctive uniform, which is based on the clothes of the klephts, -mountain fighters who fought during the Ottoman occupation of Greece. The most distinguishing item of this uniform is the fustanella, a kilt-like garment. This uniform turned the Evzones into a popular figure of the Greek soldier.
