Erechtheion, the iconic temple in Athens (Greece) dedicated to the goddess Athena, is thousands of years old and still breathtaking. I had always wanted to see the wonders of ancient Greece, and finally, in April 2023, I got the chance. I visited the Acropolis late afternoon when I knew the sun would bathe the site. I was not disappointed; the Acropolis was glowing where the sun hit it, and the Erechteion seemed dipped in gold. The passing clouds added interest to the sky and played with the light.

Spain and Portugal were transition points for the Celts, who shared beliefs and traditions -include the Beltane feast- practiced by other cultures, which Roman, and Greek, architecture associated with Christianity have preserved in the architecture of churches and temples. Among these are the Caryatids, the Line of maidens, who function as pillars of the temple of Artemis, Erechteion, who symbolize the continuity of culture and blood through their procession, which we still find in the Lucia tradition, choir practices and so on. All these traditions are interrelated, and it’s the legacy of these enetimes histories she preserves by carrying them as lessons in her practices being reconveyed in practice. https://www.instagram.com/p/CmL7N0wNb-P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I❤️🇬🇷 repost @antiqua_archeologia ・・・ 🇮🇹 Eretteo, Acropoli di Atene. Come si evince dalle parole di Vitruvio, col nome di Cariatidi si fa riferimento ad elementi architettonici che rappresentano sculture di donne, vestite con delle lunghe tuniche, impiegate come colonne al fine di sostenere architravi, mensole o altre parti di un edificio. Si tratta di antropomorfizzazione delle forme architettoniche. La loro è una funzione attiva e non passiva, portante e non decorativa, in quanto sostituiscono con il loro corpo il ruolo di colonne o parastre. Uno dei più grandi esempi dove poter studiare e ammirare le Cariatidi è l’Eretteo, un tempio situato sull’Acropoli di Atene. L' Eretteo è composto di un corpo centrale al quale si affiancano due minori autonomi, la parte forse più affascinante è costituita dalla loggetta delle Cariatidi situata ad un’estremità del fianco meridionale del tempio. 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹🔸🔹 🇬🇧 Erechtheion, Acropolis of Athens. As can be seen from the words of Vitruvius, with the name of Caryatids we refer to the architectural elements that represent sculptures of women, dressed in long tunics, used as columns in order to support architraves, shelves or other parts of a building. It is therefore an anthropomorphization of architectural figures. The function of Caryatids is active and not passive (a supporting and not decorative function), as they replace with their body the role of columns or leaves. One of the greatest examples to study and admire the Caryatids is the Erechtheum, a temple located on the Acropolis of Athens. The Erechtheum is composed of a central body which is flanked by two independent minors, the most fascinating part is the "loggia of the Caryatids" located at one end of the southern side of the temple. 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 🔸 🔹 📸 Photo by @dimitris_adrikop 🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹 #grecia #greece #atene #athens #loggiadellecariatidi #ancientgreece #erechteion #eretteo #caryatids #cariatidi #archeo #acropoli #acropolis #travelling #architecture #ancientarchitecture #architecturelovers #ancientart #antiqua_archeologia #archeologia #archeology #ig_greece #ig_athens #ig_ https://www.instagram.com/p/B61H8Edg8b_/?igshid=eyb3ik8b2d64

The Sacred Rock, the Parthenon of Athens, is thought to be the symbol of ancient Greek culture.
It is also considered one of the most significant ancient monuments in Europe, and dedicated to the goddess Athena, is visible from almost every spot in Athens.
It is said that the place was declared a province only to the gods by an oracle, and therefore stopped being inhabited by the people. The three temples of major importance, the Parthenon, the Erechteion and the Temple of Nike, were erected during the classical period (450-330 B.C.) on the remains of earlier temples. All three of them are dedicated to different aspects of the Goddess Athena.
The founder of the Athenian democracy, Pericles, was the one who rebuilt it under the form it has kept until today. He made it into a city of Temples, and, as everything else created at that period, turned it to the ultimate achievement in terms of classical Greek architecture and sculpting.
The Persians destroyed the Acropolis during the battle of Salamina in 480 B.C.
The Parthenon was turned into a church dedicated to Agia Sofia by the Christians of Byzantium, while the domination of the Franks in 1205 turned the hill into a fortress and residence for the noble Franks. At that time, the Parthenon was a Catholic Church named Our Lady of Athens.
The Ottoman occupation of the 15th century turned the building into a mosque. When Greece finally became independent from the Turkish occupation, the conservation of the monuments became a task of major importance, and it has remained so until today.
