About Hotels in South Slope of the Acropolis of Athens!
The South Slope of the Acropolis of Athens is a historically and culturally significant site, as it was home to many important buildings and monuments from ancient Greece. The most notable of these is the Temple of Athena Nike, which was built in 449 BC. This temple stands atop a steep slope and faces the city below, while its white marble columns make it one of the most recognizable landmarks in the city. It was dedicated to Athena Nike (Victory), goddess of victory, who was believed to bring invincible strength to those she favored. Along with the Temple of Athena Nike, there are several other sanctuaries located on this slope including those dedicated to Zeus and Poseidon.
The South Slope is full of ancient ruins that tell tales about life during different eras in Greek history. On this side of the Acropolis, you can find theatre structures that have been carved into the cliffside such as Odeon Herodes Atticus theater; two beehive tombs called tholos tombs; and various ancient fortifications from different historical periods such as Hellenistic walls, Byzantine towers and Ottoman fortresses.
The South Slope also contains significant archaeological finds associated with ancient Athens. Among these are artifacts from various eras including sculptures from Archaic period, statues from Classical period, coins from Hellenistic period and ceramics from Roman period. Some archaeological excavations have revealed large public baths constructed by Romans during their rule over Athens as well as an extensive sewer system used for sanitation purposes during classical times.
The South Slope offers breathtaking views over downtown Athens due to its high altitude above sea level but also provides visitors with insight into numerous historical aspects related to Athens’ past. From here one can admire the beauty of historic sites such as Parthenon or admire modern structures like National Library or Syntagma Square while understanding how each layer has contributed to shape contemporary life in Greece’s capital city.
