The Acropolis is for centuries now one of the most important ancient monuments of the Western world. The buildings around the Acropolis are made of Pentelic marble and have a bright white glow in the midday sun, which gradually take a golden hue as the sun sinks behind the mountain of Egaleo. The Acropolis, at night, stands, perfectly illuminated, over the city of Athens and decorates it with the best way. From wherever you look at it, the Acropolis has a different visual beauty to offer. During the period of its construction the famous Pericles did not care about the expenses. The best materials, the leading architects Iktinos and Kallikratis, and elaborate sculptors and artists, who came from all over Greece to build a town dedicated to the worship of the goddess Athena, have been used. It worth visiting the Acropolis because this magnificent spectacle will be a great spiritual experience.

The Temple of the Olympian Zeus used to be the largest temple of Greece; even from the Parthenon itself! The Temple is located within walking distance from the Acropolis and at the moment only 15 columns among the original 104 are remaining upright. Constructed from marbles the best quality (Pentelic marble), almost 700 years were needed to complete its construction. The foundations of the first Temple were set by Pisistratus in 515 BC but the works stopped a few years later. King Antiochus IV, the Epiphanes, took upon its continuation during the Macedonian rule but unfortunately remained unfinished due to his death. Finally, the Temple was completed around 131 AD by the Emperor Hadrian who dedicated the Temple to Zeus and placed a huge statue of gold and ivory in the Temple’s interior as well as a statue of himself, at the same size, next to it. In front of the Temple of the Olympian Zeus, a Gate to honor himself (Hadrian), setting the dividing line between the Old and New Athens, was built as well. On the side of the Gate, entering from the Acropolis side, you can see the inscription "This is Athens, the former city of Theseus" while on the other side of the sign "This is the city of Hadrian and not of Theseus".
