- Acropolis - The most magnificent and revered sanctuary of ancient Athens, primarily dedicated to its patron goddess Athena, has been a central feature of the city for millennia. The Acropolis monuments (the Parthenon, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, the Propylaea, the Theater of Dionysus), each a unique masterpiece of ancient architecture, have influenced art and culture for centuries and blend harmoniously with their natural surroundings.
- Theatre of Dionysus - Dionysus, the god of wine and grape harvest, was honored in the oldest theatre established in Athens. It was here that the unparalleled works of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes were first performed.
- Temple of Athena Nike - Dedicated to the goddesses Athena and Nike, the Temple of Athena Nike celebrated Nike, the goddess of victory, and Athena in her victorious form. Legend has it that the cult statue of the goddess at the temple was wingless to ensure she would never leave Athens.
- Erechtheion - The Erechtheion is an ancient Greek temple on the Acropolis of Athens, built to house the ancient wooden cult statue of Athena and to glorify the city at the peak of its power and influence.
- Parthenon - The Parthenon, a temple that dominates the Acropolis hill in Athens, was constructed in the mid-5th century BCE and dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena Parthenos (“Athena the Virgin”). It is widely regarded as the pinnacle of the Doric order, the simplest of the three Classical Greek architectural styles.
- Ancient Agora of Athens - The Agora was the heart of ancient Athens, serving as the center of political, commercial, administrative, and social activity, as well as the religious and cultural hub and the seat of justice.
- Temple of Hephaestus - The splendid Temple of Hephaestus, one of the best-preserved ancient temples globally, was a place of worship for two significant deities for many merchants and shop owners of the Ancient Agora: Hephaestus, the protector of all metallurgists, and Athena Ergani, the guardian of potters and cottage industries.
