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 stellt die Akropolis über eine weitläufige moderne Hauptstadt, in der antike Ruinen, Hanggassen und lange Taverna-Abende nebeneinander bestehen.

Der Parthenon krönt die Akropolis, flankiert vom Erechtheion mit seiner Korenhalle, und das Akropolis-Museum am Fuß des Hügels zeigt die auf dem Felsen gefundenen Skulpturen. Rundherum machen die antike Agora, der Tempel des Olympischen Zeus, der Hadriansbogen und das marmorne Panathenäische Stadion die klassische Stadt leicht zu Fuß erkundbar.
