Erechtheion
The Erechtheion is an ancient Ionic temple on the north side of the Athenian Acropolis, conventionally associated with the cults of Athena Polias and Erechtheus/Poseidon. The extant classical building dates to the late 5th century BCE and is known for its asymmetrical plan and distinctive south Porch of the Maidens (Caryatid Porch). The structure sits within a complex of small sanctuaries and terraces on the Acropolis plateau.

As it stood in 406 BC
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact, asymmetrical Ionic temple in pale Pentelic marble set on a curving stylobate, with an east hexastyle prostyle pronaos of slender fluted columns and a contrasting blue Eleusinian limestone frieze. The south-facing Porch of the Maidens displays six draped female figures (caryatids) acting as columnar supports on a low wall. The building’s ashlar isodomic masonry shows crisp mouldings, coffered ceilings in the north porch, and multiple terraces and stone rubble around the foundation on the Acropolis ridge.
