小思文
The Unknown Warrior Monument is also a very unique building. The monument facilities are very novel and include a lot of good design styles. The entire model of the monument is also quite interesting. Every day, there are special guards and some modelling work.

Located in the heart of Athens, the National Park is a great place for people to relax in the afternoon. Now the Capitol is a private garden. The park was built in 1923 and is lush, quiet and comfortable. Sculptures, flower beds and small ancient relics are ornaments of the garden. The garden of the Zapion Palace, which surrounds the ancient social hall, is also here.

Hadrian's arch (Arch of Hadrian) is 59 meters high, 41 meters wide and7.5 meters thick. It is a triumphal arch in the Roman era. It is said that the arch was built to celebrate the visit of Roman Emperor Hadrian around 131 AD, and the emperor came here to donate a large amount of property to the city for the purpose of the new temple nearby, and for such a great honor, it is necessary to show respect in an appropriate way. Today, the Hadrian arch is still a symbol of the entrance to Athens, and there are 15 Optimus pillars at the rear, the site of the famous Temple of Zeus. The arch divided the city into new and old districts, with the east as the new city expanded by Emperor Hadrian, and the west as the ancient city. The arch's frame edges were carved with two inscriptions, each on one side. The side facing the Acropolis reads: "This is Athens, the ancient city of Tehus." The opposite direction is facing the new city, the inscription reads: "This is the city of Hadrian, not the city of Tehus." The famous building is supported by Corinthian-style coronal columns. Due to age and weathering and air pollution, the Hadrian arch was also damaged to a certain extent, many building details fell off, and the handwriting was more blurred. We can no longer see the original form of the Temple of Zeus and the arch of Hadrian, but only through the ruins of the broken walls to recall the glory of the time.

The Hephistos Temple is also a very good and beautiful place. The internal environment of the temple is not very complete. It is the style of ancient Greek culture. The huge columns are also very special. The internal space here is also quite large.

On March 20, 1887, Ziller handed over the building of the "Sinaean Academy" to the Greek Prime Minister. The Athens Museum of the Coin was opened in 1890, and the Byzantine and Christian Museum and National Archives were renovated in 1914. On March 24, 1926, the building was transferred to the newly established Athenian Academy of Sciences.

The Acropolis is about 4km2 in size and is surrounded by strong walls. The natural mountainous terrain allows people to climb the Acropolis only from the west. The east, south and north of the Highlands are cliffs and the terrain is very steep. The entrance to the ancient acropolis of Boule Puli is on the west side of the hill. This gate and the ladder to climb the hill are Roman-era buildings. Step up the right step, and the left side of the midway balcony can look out to the ancient Angolan ruins that extend south down the hill. There are also stairs leading from the balcony to the basement, which can be reached all the way down to the ancient well at the bottom of the Acropolis. The Propylaea is the true entrance to the Acropolis, with the Dorian and O'Aignan columns cleverly interspersed and majestic. The gate was previously made up of palaces on both sides, but now there are only five pillars left. The front gate of the Acropolis (Propylaea) was built in the fifth century AD to lead to the Acropolis Temple, which is divided into three parts: the north wing from left to right, the central building and the south wing. The central building has six large Dorian columns, five entrances and three Ionian columns on each side. The outside Dorian columns give a sense of majesty, while the inside is elegant and charming. The north wing building is more complete, and the room wall has a painting by the ancient famous painter Horikoletus, called Pinakothiki. The south wing seems to be in pairs with the north wing at first glance, but it is actually a colonnade building and is relatively small in scale.

悠然上路
Concorde Square is located in the center of Athens and is an important transportation hub. The famous Women's Street and Plaka Old Town are nearby. It is said that the security in this area of Concorde Square is a bit messy, but we feel OK. Of course, we have to be careful in all aspects of ourselves when we go out. We went to Athens in September 15, just in time for the early Greek election, and various activities and journalists interviewed in Concorde Square were very lively.

The wind tower of Athens' historical site is also a place worth visiting. The tall stone tower still retains the original form. The surrounding annexes have been eroded and destroyed. The management of the whole area is also more classic and worth visiting.
