The northwest corner of the Acropolis from Areios Pagos, Athens, Greece at My Favourite Planet

The northwest corner of the Acropolis from the Areopagus. The red colouring is caused by the setting sun.

Mysterious niche near the entrance to the Acropolis, Athens, Greece at My Favourite Planet

One of the mysterious niches in the rock of the Acropolis.
Most plans of the Acropolis show its famous temples and monuments. However, all over and around the porous limestone rock are natural and man-made niches, caves and springs which have served religious and practical purposes over thousands of years.

See pictures and information about:

The Klepsydra spring and the caves of Apollo and Pan on gallery page 5.

The choragic monument of Thrasyllus on gallery page 35.
