On the northwest side of the Temple of the Olympiad is Hadrian's Gate, an impressive 18-metre high marble arch. Hadrian's gate was built in honour of Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD. It delineated the boundary between the ancient city of Theseus and the new Roman city that extended from the current Avenue Amalias to Illissos. It is a unique Romanesque arch, framed by two Corinthian columns. Above, the two statues of Theseus and Hadrian were erected on the same level.

This colonnade was built between 437 and 432 BC under Pericles to indicate that the Acropolis belonged to the people of Athens. The building was revolutionary for the time: it was the first propylée to present a façade in the form of a temple. The central part of the Propylaeas consists of two porticoes with six columns, one opening onto the inside of the sanctuary and the other onto the outside. The spaces between the columns served as a place of access for the faithful, while the central passage allowed animals to pass through during sacrifices.

Numerous buildings dating from the XI th and th centuries across the city. Agios-Elefthérios: near the cathedral, rue Mitropoléos. :: in the middle of Ermou Street down to Syntagma Square. Agii-Apostoli: to the south of the Portique portique. Agii-Theodori: Dragastaniou street, near Klafhmonos Square on Stadiou Avenue. Agia-Triada (Russian Orthodox Church): near Syntagma, on Filellinon and Psylla streets.

The Areopagus democracy, the Areopagus, was the high legal body that saw the gods, heroes and men accused of murder. Saint Paul addressed the Athenians for the first time in 54 after J.-C. on this hill. The second hill, called the The, was the place where the people's assembly met. We are still seeing speakers'galleries. The third hill, called hill of the Muses or hill of Philopappou, has a funeral monument dedicated to the benefactor of the city of Athens, of the same name.
Between the hill of Muses and La, there was the Koilé, a dungeon in Greek, which housed a large part of the Women population in antiquity. A rampart protected it and left from the hill of Des to go to the hill of Nymphs, which today carries on its summit a observatory.

Built by King Pergamum II of Pergamos in the 1950 th century BC and completely restored in the s, he served as the source of a shopping gallery for the rich Athenians.
