Pandroseion, Archaeological altar in Acropolis of Athens, Greece.
The Pandroseion consists of a trapezoidal courtyard with walls located adjacent to the Erechtheum on the northern side of the Acropolis.
Dating from 421 BCE, this sanctuary was constructed to honor Pandrosus, daughter of Cecrops I and the first priestess of Athena Polias.
The altar of Zeus Herkeios within the Pandroseion served as a central point for religious ceremonies and offerings in ancient Athens.
Visitors can access the Pandroseion remains through the main entrance of the Acropolis, following signs toward the north side of the Erechtheum.
The site contains a sacred olive tree, replacing the original one that marked Athena's victory over Poseidon in their contest for Athens.
