The Acropolis of Athens, Greece - The Propylaea.

The monumental gateway of the Acropolis was designed by the architect Mnesikles and constructed in 437-432 B.C. It comprises a central building and two lateral wings. The colonnades along the west and east sides had a row of Doric columns while two rows of Ionic columns divided the central corridor into three parts. Copyright 2007 Jordan Kevrekidis
