The Acropolis 


Athens is known as the birth place of democracy when the people of Athens rose up and ruled out the tyrant who had ruled them around 500 BC. The Acropolis is not a single building but a number of temples build on a hill overlooking Athens



Temple of Olympian Zeus 


 Construction began in the 6th century BC during the rule of the Athenian tyrants, who envisaged building the greatest temple in the ancient world, but it was not completed until the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD some 638 years after the project had begun.

Erechtheum
 
he Erechtheum is an ancient Greek temple of Ionic style on the north side of the Acropolis of Athens. The temple as seen today was built between 421 and 407 BC. The temple is probably most famous for its distinctive porch supported by six female figures known as the Caryatids, who served at supporters.
