The Archaeological Site of Kerameikos in Athens is a vast and ancient site that dates back to prehistoric times. Located on the banks of the Eridanos River, it was considered one of the most sacred areas of Ancient Athens and was home to significant public monuments like the Dipylon gate, the Sacred Gate, and several temples to gods such as Zeus, Poseidon, Demeter, and Hades. These sacred monuments were built by some of antiquity's greatest architects including Hermogenes and Ictinus. The site also contains numerous other fragments from different ancient societies including cemeteries from Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic and Roman times. Additionally, there are large sanctuaries dedicated to various deities as well as remains of pottery workshops.
Kerameikos has long been an important archaeological site for scholars studying Athens' past due to its wide range of interesting artifacts that reflect many periods of Greek history. One of the most notable finds at Kerameikos is the Dipylon gate which was constructed with two large doorways within a single walled enclosure. It stands 11 meters high and is thought to have been used as a symbolic entrance point into the sacred area. Inside this gate visitors can find a variety of sculptures such as sphinxes, lions, centaurs and ram-headed serpents which evoke strong mythical associations in viewers.
