1. The Daphni Monastery was founded towards the end of the sixth century A.D. on the site of the Sanctuary of Apollo which had been desecrated by the Goths in 395. The Sanctuary of Apollo was built in the Ionic style using the thinnest and smallest columns. The columns stand on a base with an ornamental scroll at the top. A few of the columns of the temple have been preserved. One of the four Ionic columns of the ancient Sanctuary of Apollo remains at the site, as it was re-used in the Daphni Monastery. The other columns were removed and taken to London by Thomas Bruce, Earl of Elgin (of Elgin Marbles fame). The columns, column bass, and column tops from the Sanctuary of Apollo are currently in the possession of the British Museum.

About Athen

Athen rejser Akropolis over en vidtstrakt moderne hovedstad, hvor antikke ruiner, stræder i skråningerne og lange taverna-aftener ligger side om side.

Parthenon kroner Akropolis, flankeret af Erechtheion med sin veranda af karyatider, og Akropolismuseet ved bakkens fod viser skulpturer fundet på klippen. Rundt omkring gør Den Antikke Agora, Olympieion, Hadrians Port og det marmorklædte Panathinaiko-stadion den klassiske by let at gå gennem.
