This is not your typical concrete sports venue. Located in Athens, Greece, the Panathenaic Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium and an archaeological site. It is the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble. Construction on the venue was started in 329 BC. You can see the ancient Greek architecture style throughout the structure, which was shaped by architects Ernst Ziller and Anastasios Metaxas.

Πλατεία Συντάγματος

King Otto was the first King of Greece, and after a popular and military uprising on 3 September 1843, he was obliged to grant the Constitution. This event gave the central square of Athens its name, as Syntagma refers to the Constitution and the neighbourhood surrounding the square. You can see the 19th-century Old Royal Palace standing right in front of the plaza. It is a busy spot for locals and visitors, and the metro station below is where lines 2 and 3 connect. I usually keep a sharp eye on the crowds here for dropped snacks.

It was built by Lysicrates, a patron of musical performances in the Theater of Dionysus, to commemorate a prize won in the dithyramb contest of the City Dionysia in 335/334 BCE.

Ἐλευσίνιον

You might think of the Acropolis as one single entity, but the Eleusinion is actually a separate sanctuary located on the lower part of its north slope. This hieron was dedicated to Demeter and Kore and served as the central hub for the Eleusinian Mysteries within the city. Religious activity here is attested from the 7th century BC. Later, the sanctuary was enclosed within the new city walls built after the Herulian sack of Athens in AD 267. I've noticed the ancient Greek architecture here still feels powerful despite the passage of time.

Ηλιαία

The people of Classical Athens established the Heliaia, which was the largest and most prominent court venue in the city. While the name originally designated this specific location, ancient sources also used the term as a general name for the Athenian popular court system. If you read modern English-language scholarship, you can pick out a distinction in the terminology: the term Heliaia is typically reserved for the venue itself, while the term dikasterion is used for the institutional system. The Heliaia is an instance of a dikasterion. I've seen many tourists get the two terms mixed up.

You can find the City Hall of the Municipality of Athens here, as well as the National Bank of Greece Cultural Center. It is named after Konstantinos Kotzias, a former Mayor of Athens.
