A temple from Greece: the Erechtheion | Ἐρέχθειον


Postcard
The Erechtheion is an ancient Greek temple on the north side of the Acropolis of Athens in Greece. The temple as seen today was built between 421 and 406 BC.

On the south side, there is a large porch with columns, and on the south, the famous "Porch of the Maidens", with six draped female figures (caryatids) as supporting columns
