Acropolis, Athens, Greece

The Erechtheion, built in the late Classical period to accommodate several sacred cults on the Acropolis, features an asymmetrical design shaped by its complex religious functions and uneven terrain. Its renowned Porch of the Caryatids, along with Ionic columns and intricate moldings, showcases the artistic and architectural refinement of Athens. Today it stands as a testament to the city's religious diversity and enduring craftsmanship.
