Positioned prominently on a steep bastion at the southwest corner of the Acropolis, to the right of the entrance, the Propylaea, it contrasts with the Acropolis proper, a walled sanctuary entered through the Propylaea. The Victory Sanctuary was open, accessed from the Propylaea’s southwest wing and a narrow stair on the north.
