Athens Nike, and more). The Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel located on a rocky outcrop above the city. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to some of the most important ancient Greek buildings, including the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Athena Nike. The Acropolis was a major religious and political center in Ancient Greece, and it remains one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world today. - Odeon of Herodes Atticus and the Ancient Theatre of Dionysus. The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is a stone Roman theatre structure located on the southwest slope of the Acropolis. It was built in AD 161 by Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife Regilla. The Odeon is now a popular venue for concerts and other cultural events.

The temple was never completed, but it is still an impressive sight today.
