Acropolis of Athens

118***48

The Acropolis of Athens is located on a limestone hill 150 meters above sea level in the southwest of Athens. It was built in the 5th century BC and is a holy place to commemorate the victory of the Greco-Persian War and to worship Athena, the patron saint of Athens. The main building, the Parthenon, is backed by the maze-like residential buildings of Plaka, Athens, and the cliff facing the sea stands steeply, towering in the blue sea and blue sky. In addition to the Parthenon, the Acropolis of Athens also has the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Victory, the Erechtheion, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus and other buildings. The chief architect was Phidias, who was famous at the time. Six hundred years later, the ancient Roman historian Plutarch once commented on the Acropolis: "The building stands tall, magnificent and outstanding, with beautiful outlines, unparalleled." The 19th-century French writer Flaubert called the Acropolis "the most brilliant source of history and art."

Acropolis Museum

千帆尽处无夕阳

The biggest feature of the Acropolis Museum is its spatial design, which is equivalent to making the Acropolis as a whole a simple space. Standing in front of the huge glass curtain and looking at the ruins of the Acropolis, it feels like a spatial transformation. The sculpture art of ancient Greece is indeed beyond compare. My favorite is the Maiden Column of the Temple of Poseidon; it is said that the head of the family stopped in front of a sculpture for a long time when visiting the Acropolis Museum. It's a pity that my stay was too short. I suggest that you spend more time in the Acropolis Museum, at least half a day.

Parthenon

环球史蒂夫

Theater of Herodes Atticus and Caryatids and Parthenon However, the Caryatids in the Acropolis are not authentic. The authentic ones are in the nearby Acropolis Museum and... the British Museum Like most Greek temples, this temple was also used as a treasury. 1. It was built in 447 BC to replace the old Parthenon (destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC). 2. For a while, it was the treasury of the Delian League (which later evolved into the Athenian Empire). 3. In the 6th century AD, the Parthenon was converted into a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary (the original Athena was also a virgin). 4. In the early 1460s, after being conquered by the Ottoman Turks, it was used as a mosque. 5. It was used as a gunpowder magazine by the Turkish army in 1687 and was unfortunately severely damaged in an explosion. 6. By 1800, only half of the Parthenon statues survived. After obtaining approval from the Ottoman government, British Ambassador Sir Elgin began to transport half of the surviving statues back to Britain at his own expense starting in 1801, and they began to be exhibited in the British Museum in 1817.

National Archaeological Museum

yp1017

The Athens Archaeological Museum is the largest museum in Greece, with nearly 20,000 collections, covering artifacts from prehistory to late antiquity, and is a microcosm of ancient Greek civilization. It is worth a visit, but unfortunately there is no Chinese explanation... If you see a collection you like, you can only use translation software to understand the history...

Temple of Olympian Zeus

Anonymous User

Although it is a site under restoration, you can still feel the weight of history. The ticket inspector did not immediately recognize the admission voucher. He looked at it for a long time and asked why there was no price displayed. We explained and finally got in.

Panathenaic Stadium

小思文

The Athens Stadium is a more important place to hold the sports games. The facilities of the entire stadium are very many. The sports competitions here are also very rich. The scale of the Athens Stadium is quite large. I like to come here to visit and play.

Roman Forum of Athens

海布里岁月

The Roman Agora is located in the Plaka district, which is the most ancient neighborhood in Athens with Greek culture and style. The "Tower of the Winds", the most ancient Greek relic in the Roman Agora, is well preserved in the Plaka district. It was built around the 1st century AD and is an octagonal building. There are different reliefs of the wind god on each of the exterior walls, which are vividly and beautifully carved. Timekeeping tools such as water clocks and sundials are placed inside the wind tower, showing the progress of technology at that time. In addition, the remaining Athena Arch and the few remaining stone pillars in the Roman Market are also places where tourists in the Plaka district can visit.

Erechtheion

春风不曾谋面

The Erechtheion is one of the famous buildings in the Acropolis of Athens. It was originally a stone temple where the remains of the eight saints were placed. Legend has it that this was the place where the goddess Athena and the god of the sea Poseidon fought for the position of patron saint of Athens. The Erechtheion is located on an uneven plateau south of the Temple of Erechtheion. It was built between 421 and 405 BC and is a typical representative of the Ionic style in the architecture of the Acropolis of Athens. It was the last important building completed in the plan to rebuild the Acropolis formulated by Pericles. The design is very exquisite. [1] The Erechtheion has three temples, dedicated to the Greek god Zeus, the god of the sea Poseidon, and the god of blacksmiths Hephaestus, respectively. There are two distinctive colonnades connecting them. The Erechtheion Temple has square holes on the ceiling and floor of the northern column, which are said to have been pierced by Poseidon's trident.



Hadrian's Library

小思文

Hadrian's Library is also a very interesting place. The introduction of the library is very rich, and you can learn about the history here in advance. The very high parts of the city wall can be visited up close. They have also experienced historical destruction, and there are not many remaining parts.
