Parthenon
Parthenon. It was the great temple dedicated to Virgin Athena. It was built almost entirely of the famous local pentelic marble and decorated with numerous marble relieves and sculptures. It housed both the huge gold-and-ivory statue of Athena and the treasure of the city -state of Athens. One of the most admirable buildings of the world due to its beauty, harmony and material.
Propylaia. It is the monumental entrance to the sanctuary of Athena on the Acropolis. Built of marble it represented the limit between the worldly and the sacred precinct, which contributed to the psychological preparation of the worshipper, and at the same time it offered the best view of the Parthenon. From the Propylaia one can enjoy a splendid view of Athens and Piraeus.
