Beautiful unobstructed views of Athens in different directions.

The Greek Orthodox Church of Panagia Kapnikarea is one of the oldest churches in Athens. It is estimated to have been built in the 11th century, perhaps around 1050. As was common among early Christian churches, it was erected on an ancient pagan-Greek temple dedicated to the worship of a goddess, perhaps Athena or Demeter. When King Otto I commissioned the Bavarian architect Leo Von Klenze to design the new urban plan for Athens, the decision was made to demolish it. It was King Ludwig I of Bavaria who challenged the decision, saving the church. The building, in the heart of modern Athens, along the Ermou Street shopping district, consists of a complex of three separate, interconnected units; these units were built in succession: a) the larger southern church dedicated to the Presentation of Mary at the Temple; b) the chapel of Saint Barbara on the north side; c) the exonarthex with the propylaeum to the west.

In keeping with its significance in European historiography, the monument to Alexander of Macedon—early honored with the nickname "The Great"—must be impressive in its sheer size, dominating this square in Athens' expansive park. High above the visitors, the successful general sits in a majestic pose on horseback.

Hadrian's Gate is an ancient building in Athens. It marks the entrance to the Athenian Temple of Olympian Zeus and was dedicated to Hadrian during his visit to Athens in 132. Strictly speaking, it was not a city gate, but rather a monument of honor.
