The Acropolis of Athens sits right in the heart of the city. To it’s north is the Agora. East is the Temple of Olympian Zeus. Along its southern edge lies the Theater of Dionysos, the Aesclepion, and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. West is the Pnyx.

The Acropolis itself is a rough projection of rock that rises 200 feet above the level of the surrounding city. At its top is an expansive plateau measuring some 300×150 yards. Here lie the remains of the four most famous buildings in the Western world: the Propylaea (or monumental gateway), the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheon, and (of course) the Parthenon.

The map below shows the Acropolis plateau, as well as the buildings arranged along its southern flank. In addition, the site is color-coded to indicate the dating of construction for the existing buildings.
