Fantastic to walk around and free as it is every first Sunday of the month . Amazing how they built places like this with such primative tools. There's a fabulous Spartan shrill on display too
Wow . This is an amazing temple and in pretty good condition . It's towering over the Agora complex where all the Athenian lives were focused thousands of years ago . I wished we could see it in its pristine condition as it once was . I was speechless.
Visit as part of Ancient Agora of Athens. Well maintained and restored. Best time to visit: late afternoon.
Located in Ancient Agora, it can be seen from everywhere. Look like it was saved from destructions and preserved really well. The columns, the details, the entire structure is wonderful.
The Temple of Hephaestus in Athens is a captivating journey into ancient Greek history. The temple's elevated location provides stunning panoramic views of Athens, adding to its allure. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply appreciating architectural brilliance, the Temple of Hephaestus is a must-visit, offering a profound connection to the rich cultural heritage of Athens. It's not just a monument; it's a living testament to the enduring legacy of ancient Greece.
The model temple that helped modern archeologists to understand the Parthenon & other ancient structures. Absolutely a must do while walking around the Acropolis because it’s much less crowded and just as amazing!
I absolutely loved this temple. It was arguable the most well preserved temple I’ve seen so far in Greece. We came here after visiting Acropolis and I loved visualizing how the Parthenon probably was constructed in this smaller form. The views of the city were impressive as well as Acropolis in the background. We also found a baby kitten that wouldn’t stop playing with us. No complaints there either. I’ve included a video of the kitten for those interested in that lol.
