The most interesting monument of the site of Athens having preserved its state and its original characteristics.

Climbing up towards the entrance to the Acropolis site, you find yourself at the top of Herod Atticus' odeon. This monument, probably completed around AD 161, has the characteristics of a Roman odeon, with the columns at the back framing niches and statues. Its state of preservation makes it one of the most interesting monuments on the site, a theatre for cultural events. Herod Atticus, a native of Marathon and heir to a large fortune, spent a great deal of money on the construction of several public buildings throughout Greece.

Eblouissant
Splendide Odéon visible du haut, comme du bas de l'Acropole. N'oubliez pas d'y réserver un spectacle !

Impressionnant
A ne pas confondre avec le théâtre de Dionysos, l'odéon d'Hérode Atticus se situe un peu plus loin et plus haut sur le chemin en venant du versant sud. Il est tout simplement majestueux. Il est cependant dommage de ne pas pouvoir y entrer.

Selon moi le plus beau théâtre que j'ai pu voir en Grèce (avec celui d'Epidaure bien sûr!) Situé à l'intérieur de l'Acropole, il est cependant visible de dehors. Qu'on se l'avoue, la vue est tout de même bien plus belle en prenant de la hauteur!
Ce théâtre est encore utilisé aujourd'hui pour des représentations théâtrales ou des concerts.

Un des vestiges de l'Acropole. On ne peut pas y aller directement, mais c'est la première chose qu'on voir lorsqu'on visite l'Acropole. Cela devait être un très bel édifice.
