Erechtheion

  Erechtheion sits on the Acropolis of Athens, adjacent to the Parthenon. This ancient temple was constructed between 421 and 406 BC and is notable for its asymmetrical design and the famous Caryatids—six elegantly draped female figures that support the portico. Originally dedicated to Athena and Poseidon, it served as a religious site and housed sacred relics. Visitors to Erechtheion can explore its intricate architectural details and learn about its significant history, especially during the spring months when the site is less crowded. Don't forget to take a moment to appreciate the views of the city from this historic vantage point.
