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.

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.

There are two inscriptions on the gate. The inscription on the western side reads: "This is Athens, the ancient city of Theseus", and the text on the eastern side reminds: "This is the city of Hadrian, not Theseus". https://www.podrozepoeuropie.pl/luk-hadriana-w-atenach/

In gratitude to the emperor and on the occasion of his arrival in the city, the Arch (also called the Gate) of Hadrian was built in 132 BC. The characteristic two-level arch was built of Pentelic marble, which was extracted from the nearby Mount Penteleikon. The same building material was used in the construction of the most important monuments on the Acropolis, including the Parthenon. The total height of the monument is about 18 m, its width is 13.50 m, and its depth is over 2.30 m. Two styles were used in the building: the lower one refers to Roman triumphal arches, and the upper one to the traditional Greek propylon (monumental gate). https://www.podrozepoeuropie.pl/luk-hadriana-w-atenach/

One of the traces of the Roman presence in Athens is the Arch of Hadrian. The monument is located about 325 meters from the Acropolis, at the temple of Olympian Zeus (Olympiaeum). Publius Aelius Hadrian ruled the Roman Empire in the years 117-138 CE, he was the successor of Trajan, the third of the so-called five good emperors. He supported Hellenization, and he had special respect for Greece and Greek culture. He initiated the construction and funded public buildings, roads and aqueducts. Athens was expanded on Hadrian's orders, which is why we can find many Roman remains in this city today. https://www.sladyrzymu.pl/2020/06/hadrian-i-ateny.html
