Acropolis

The Acropolis consists of 3 main buildings - The Propylaea ( the main gateway to the Acropolis), The Erechtheion (Temple dedicated to Athena and Poseidon), and The Parthenon ( Temple dedicated to Athena).

On the stairs leading up to the Propylaea.

The Temple of Athena Nike is on th right side before the Propylaea, seen in this photo. On the Left there is supposed to be a Monument to Agrippa but it is an empty pedestal now.

The view of the Propylaea after you have gone through, it is supposed to look like a small Parthenon

Two of the sides of the Parthenon are under going restoration.

Erechtheion Porch of the Caryatids, many of the freezes and sculptures on the Acropolis are reproductions. The Caryatids are reproductions. Some of the originals are in the Acropolis Museum

A look inside the Erechtheion. There is supposed to be a mark inside the temple where Poseiden's Trident struck the earth.

A different view of the Erechtheion.

The olive tree seen here, on the side of the Erechtheion was supposedly put there by Athena, she struck the ground and the olive tree grew.

Odeon of Harodes Atticus, this is a workig theatre so you can't get inside unless you have a ticket to the concert or show in the venue. This is located on one of the slopes of the Acropolis.

Theatre of Dionysus, ruins of a theatre on the southern slope of the Acropolis. Google didn't stitch these photos together quite right so I'm going to use the panoramic mode on my camera from now on instead of letting google do the photo stitching.
