Visiting Acropolis
What to see and how to plan
Read the monumental entrance and temples as a connected ensemble. Comparing the Parthenon, Erechtheion and Temple of Athena Nike reveals more than viewing the hill as a single monument.
Why this place matters
The major fifth-century-BCE building programme associated with Pericles and Pheidias produced an influential concentration of Greek architecture and sculpture.
