海布里岁月
Open Wednesday to Saturday!] Duffney Abbey is built on the site of the ancient Apollo Temple. The temple was destroyed by the invaded Goths in 395. Now only one Ioni pillar is standing in the original colonnade, and the rest is brought back to London by the Earl of Elgin. Originally built in the 6th century, the monastery was dedicated to the death of the Virgin. Due to its wealth and fame, it was looted by the crusaders in the 11th century. At the end of the 11th century, an unknown donor paid for the reconstruction of the monastery. The area was given to the lord of Athens in 1204, and in 1207 it was taken over by the Sidos and converted. When Athens was taken over by the Turks in 1458, the monastery was returned to the Orthodox Church. Orthodox monks were rebuilt again. It was used as a military station during the Greek Revolution. Between 1838 and 39, Bavarian troops were stationed there. 1883 and 85 were used as madhouses. They were badly damaged in the earthquakes of 1889 and 1897.

春风不曾谋面
The Temple of Irektion, one of the famous buildings of the Acropolis, was originally a stone temple for the remains of the eight saints. It is said that this is the place where the goddess Athena and the sea god Poseidon fought for the protection of the goddess of Athens. The Temple of Iraktion, located on a bumpy high ground south of the Temple of Erehshou, was built between 421 BC and 405 BC. It is a typical representative of the Ionian style of the Acropolis architecture. It is the final completion of the plan for the reconstruction of the Acropolis formulated by Perricus. Important building with a very sophisticated design.[1] The Temple of Irektion has three temples, dedicated to Zeus, the Greek god of the sea, Poseidon, and Hephistus, the blacksmith, and two distinctive colonnades connecting them. The temple of Iraktion, the ceiling and floor of the northern columns of the temple have square holes, which are said to have been pierced by Poseidon's Trident.

The Unknown Warrior Monument is also a very unique building. The monument facilities are very novel and include a lot of good design styles. The entire model of the monument is also quite interesting. Every day, there are special guards and some modelling work.

The location of the Roman market is very unique and worth visiting. There are still some traditional crafts and handicraft shops to visit. It is necessary to experience the culture of Rome here. The market is very free to visit the best.

Located in the heart of Athens, the National Park is a great place for people to relax in the afternoon. Now the Capitol is a private garden. The park was built in 1923 and is lush, quiet and comfortable. Sculptures, flower beds and small ancient relics are ornaments of the garden. The garden of the Zapion Palace, which surrounds the ancient social hall, is also here.

Hadrian's arch (Arch of Hadrian) is 59 meters high, 41 meters wide and7.5 meters thick. It is a triumphal arch in the Roman era. It is said that the arch was built to celebrate the visit of Roman Emperor Hadrian around 131 AD, and the emperor came here to donate a large amount of property to the city for the purpose of the new temple nearby, and for such a great honor, it is necessary to show respect in an appropriate way. Today, the Hadrian arch is still a symbol of the entrance to Athens, and there are 15 Optimus pillars at the rear, the site of the famous Temple of Zeus. The arch divided the city into new and old districts, with the east as the new city expanded by Emperor Hadrian, and the west as the ancient city. The arch's frame edges were carved with two inscriptions, each on one side. The side facing the Acropolis reads: "This is Athens, the ancient city of Tehus." The opposite direction is facing the new city, the inscription reads: "This is the city of Hadrian, not the city of Tehus." The famous building is supported by Corinthian-style coronal columns. Due to age and weathering and air pollution, the Hadrian arch was also damaged to a certain extent, many building details fell off, and the handwriting was more blurred. We can no longer see the original form of the Temple of Zeus and the arch of Hadrian, but only through the ruins of the broken walls to recall the glory of the time.

The Hephistos Temple is also a very good and beautiful place. The internal environment of the temple is not very complete. It is the style of ancient Greek culture. The huge columns are also very special. The internal space here is also quite large.
