Temple of Athena Nike

The Temple of Athena Nike is a small amphiprostyle Ionic temple on the southwest corner bastion of the Athenian Acropolis, dedicated to Athena and Nike. Built in the late 5th century BC, it is a tetrastyle marble shrine set on a raised stylobate with a surrounding parapet bearing reliefs of Nikai.

As it stood in 420 BC

What Temple of Athena Nike looked like in its prime.

A compact, white Pentelic-marble Ionic temple with a four-columned colonnaded porch at both east and west ends, standing on a low three-step stylobate atop a steep bastion. Slender fluted Ionic columns support an entablature with a continuous carved frieze and a projecting cornice; a shallow pitched roof with cyma mouldings and akroteria crowns the pediment. A low carved parapet encircles the bastion; the temple overlooks the city and sea, its surfaces polished and continuous with sculpted reliefs.
