This colonnade was built between 437 and 432 BC under Pericles to indicate that the Acropolis belonged to the people of Athens. The building was revolutionary for the time: it was the first propylée to present a façade in the form of a temple. The central part of the Propylæas consists of two porticoes with six columns, one opening onto the inside of the sanctuary and the other onto the outside. The spaces between the columns served as a place of access for the faithful, while the central passage allowed animals to pass through during sacrifices.

Belle structure
Les Propylées marque l'entrée et la sortie actuelles de l'Acropole d’Athènes. Le bâtiment est plutôt bien conservé et imposant. On y retrouve de nombreuses colonnes.

Porte d'entrée avant d'entrée dans l'Acropole et avant de rencontrer la merveille de l'architecture du Parthénon. Les propellas se tiennent joyeusement avec des colonnes de marbre.
Mais aussi porte forcément de sortie

Always a bit neglected due to The expectation of what it is inside, it instead shows some interesting feayure in doric columns and the thick marble lads that compose it

Même s'il y a beaucoup de monde et que des éléments modernes ont été introduits pour maintenir les restes de la structure debout, les Propylées sont impressionnantes par leur grandeur. Le site est inclus dans le prix du billet d'entrée à l'Acropole.
