The monuments of the Acropolis have withstood the ravages of past centuries, both of ancient times and those of the Middle Ages. Until the 17th century, foreign travelers visiting the monuments depicted the classical buildings as being intact. This remained the case until the middle of the same century, when the Propylaia was blown up while being used as a gunpowder store. Thirty years later, the Ottoman occupiers dismantled the neighbouring Temple of Athena Nike to use its materials to strengthen the fortification of the Acropolis. The most fatal year, however, for the Acropolis, was 1687, when many of the building’s architectural members were blown into the air and fell in heaps around the Hill of the Acropolis, caused by a bomb from the Venetian forces. Foreign visitors to the Acropolis would search through the rubble and take fragments of the fallen sculptures as their souvenirs. It was in the 19th century that Lord Elgin removed intact architectural sculptures from the frieze, the metopes and the pediments of the building.
In 1833, the Turkish garrison withdrew from the Acropolis. Immediately after the founding of the Greek State, discussions about the construction of an Acropolis Museum on the Hill of the Acropolis began. In 1863, it was decided that the Museum be constructed on a site to the southeast of the Parthenon and foundations were laid on 30 December 1865.
The building program for the Museum had provided that its height not surpasses the height of the stylobate of the Parthenon. With only 800 square meters of floor space, the building was rapidly shown to be inadequate to accommodate the findings from the large excavations on the Acropolis that began in 1886. A second museum was announced in 1888, the so-called Little Museum. Final changes occurred in 1946-1947 with the second Museum being demolished and the original being sizably extended.
By the 1970s, the Museum could not cope satisfactorily with the large numbers of visitors passing through its doors. The inadequacy of the space frequently caused problems and downgraded the sense that the exhibition of the masterpieces from the Rock sought to achieve.
The Acropolis Museum was firstly conceived by Constantinos Karamanlis in September 1976. He also selected the site, upon which the Museum was finally built, decades later. With his penetrating vision, C. Karamanlis defined the need and established the means for a new Museum equipped with all technical facilities for the conservation of the invaluable Greek artifacts, where eventually the Parthenon sculptures will be reunited.
For these reasons, architectural competitions were conducted in 1976 and 1979, but without success. In 1989, Melina Mercouri, who as Minister of Culture inextricably identified her policies with the claim for the return of the Parthenon Marbles from the British Museum, initiated an international architectural competition. The results of this competition were annulled following the discovery of a large urban settlement on the Makriyianni site dating from Archaic to Early Christian Athens. This discovery now needed to be integrated into the New Museum that was to be built on this site.
In the year 2000, the Organization for the Construction of the New Acropolis Museum announced an invitation to a new tender, which was realized by the Directives of the European Union. This tender has come to fruition, with the awarding of the design tender to Bernard Tschumi and Michael Photiadis and their associates, and the completion of construction in 2007. Today, the new Acropolis Museum has a total area of 25,000 square meters, with an exhibition space of over 14,000 square meters, ten times more than that of the old museum on the Hill of the Acropolis. The new museum offers all the amenities expected of an international museum of the 21st century.

In Greek City-State Democracy, the "agora" was more than a marketplace; it was the nucleus of civic life. This vibrant space brought together people of all backgrounds to deliberate and solve issues, serving as a social, cultural, administrative, and economic hub that epitomized the democratic ideal.
During the 5th century, the Ancient Agora was adorned with temples, altars, and public buildings. Notable structures included the Temple of Hephaestus, Vasileos Stoa, and the Stoa of Attalus, which now serves as a museum for Agora excavations. It reached its final form in the 2nd century AD.
The Agora endured periods of destruction and looting by the Persians (480 BC), Romans (86 AD), and Heruli (267 AD). After lying dormant following the Slavic invasion in 580 AD, it was resettled around 1000 AD, culminating in the construction of the Church of the Holy Apostles. In 1204, it again faced desolation after an invasion by Leo Sgouros.
Rediscovered by the German Archaeological Society in the late 19th century, the Agora's systematic excavation has been led by the American School of Classical Studies since 1931. Since 1957, the Hellenic Archaeological Society has overseen the site, preserving this historic treasure.

Excavations at the Kerameikos archaeological site commenced in 1863 under the guidance of the Archaeological Society. Since 1913, the German Archaeological Institute of Athens has continued this important work. The site features a small museum constructed in 1936 at its entrance, showcasing discoveries from the Kerameikos excavations. These artifacts offer valuable insights into the daily life and customs of ancient Greeks.

Visitors can explore the evolving burial practices across different periods, view numerous offerings interred with the deceased, and examine ostraka (vessel fragments) inscribed with the names of notable Athenians as part of the "ostracism" process, which expelled individuals considered a threat to the Republic.

In the museum's forecourt, you'll find 4th-century tombstones and a section of flooring from Pompeii. Inside, rooms house archaic tombstones integrated into the Themistocleian wall, as well as sphinxes, lions, and kouroi from the archaic era. The classical period's relief columns exude grandeur and dignity. Notable highlights include the tomb relief of the young horseman Dexileos, the column of Dimitria and Pamphili, and the depiction of the mother Amfareti with two women. Dominating the center is the Bull, an epitaphic monument honoring Dionysios of Kolyteos.

Ancient Kerameikos, as the name implies, was a district associated with potters. Situated on the northwestern fringes of ancient Athens, it extended both within and beyond the city walls that intersect the present-day excavation site. Two gates, the Dipylos and the Holy Gate, linked the interior and exterior of Kerameikos.
The area outside the Gates was the largest and most renowned Attic cemetery, known as the "Public Sign." The Holy Gate took its name from the Holy Way, which the Eleusinian Mysteries procession followed. Today, a section of the ancient Iridanos River still flows through the Holy Gate, allowing visitors to walk at the same level as Athenians in classical times.
During the archaic period, the site was characterized by substantial burial mounds. In the classical era, the Holy Way transformed into a traditional cemetery with family burial enclosures adorned with elaborate sculptural decorations. In contrast, the Dipylos road was used for official burial ceremonies for fallen warriors interred at the Public Mark.
The famous Panathenaic Road, which began at Dipylos and led into the city, had an official purpose. Between these two gates stood the Pompeio building, where preparations were made for the Panathenaic procession in honor of Athena, the site's patroness.
The street of tombs contains tombstones showcasing high artistry and aesthetics. Prominent among them are the stele of Dexileos, a young horseman, the bull sculpture in Dionysios's precinct, and the Hegisos stele.

The Erechtheion, an extraordinary ancient Greek temple from the Classical period (425-406 BC), stands out with its unique south side featuring Caryatids—statues of daughters serving as columns. Beneath these figures rested the tomb of the mythical Cekrops, founder of Athens and initiator of the cult of Athena Polias. The temple was dedicated to Athena and Poseidon, commemorating their dispute where Athena's spear made an olive tree sprout against Poseidon's trident striking the rock. The Erechtheion housed the famed xoanon (wooden statue) of Athena, and every four years, the Panathinaia festivals celebrated the goddess with new offerings and garments. The main structure, adorned with Ionic columns and surrounded by a zoophoro, pays homage to the ancient cult of Erechtheus. Notably, altars dedicated to heroes like Erichthonius and gods like Hephaistos are found on-site, with the sacred location accessible during the Acropolis monument's opening hours.

It is located on the subway terminal station in Piraeus and brings us in touch with the evolution and the history of the electric train through the years. The museum was inaugurated in November 2005, having a collection of 2000 items (exhibition and storage) and more than 3000 books, documents and photographs, which will form the basis for the expansion of the Museum and the opening of a library. The Museum was the vision of Manolis Fotopoulos, employee of the Greek Electrical Railway since 1990. He started the implementation later in 1995 as a pensioner, at the offices of the Society of that time in Menandrou Street, in order to highlight the history of the progress of the electric railway and the participation therein of all employees in the company. Starts "... with a lantern and a hat ...". Searches in all areas, warehouses, yards, even the barrels with the debris from Piraeus to Kifissia and in terms of experience and his passion, he collects anything considered useful for the opening of the Museum. After many great efforts this hall where the museum is nowadays allocated, was found.

Opening hours: Daily 08: 00-14: 00.

Near the Monastiraki metro station, the impressive walls of Hadrian's Library stand as a testament to Emperor Hadrian's 21-year reign. Hadrian, an admirer of Athens and the arts, was an amateur architect and poet who frequently traveled throughout the Roman provinces, fostering a reputation as a pacifist Emperor.
Constructed in 132 AD, the library was a grand structure measuring 119 by 89 meters. It featured an inner courtyard with a peristyle of 100 columns and housed halls, amphitheaters, and reading rooms. A testament to the Romans' love for opulence and luxury, this remaining fragment serves as proof of their wealth.
The library's site has transformed over the years. In the 5th century, a temple was erected where the reservoir once stood, and during the Ottoman era, it served as the headquarters of Voivodeship. In the late 19th century, a significant fire led to excavations supervised by the Greek state and archaeologist Komanoudis. Hadrian's Library opened to the public in 2004, and extensive restoration efforts concluded in 2010, preserving its current appearance.

The Museum of Cycladic Art was founded in 1986 to house the collection of Cycladic and Ancient Greek art of Nicholas and Aikaterini Goulandris.

Restored by the American School of Classical Studies from 1953 to 1956, the Stoa of Attalus now serves as the Museum of the Ancient Agora in its original eastern location. Gifted by Attalus II of Philadelphus around 150 AD, this covered structure with a floor was a thriving commercial hub and meeting place for Athenians.
Featuring Doric and Ionic colonnades, the Stoa's unique design showcases the architectural prowess of its benefactor. Its exhibits directly relate to the functioning of Athens' democratic society, as the Agora was the epicenter of public life. Unfortunately, destroyed by the Heruli in 267 AD, it became part of the Late Roman Wall of Athens. Today, the Museum stands as a captivating relic, preserving the essence of ancient Athenian public life.
