Choragic Monument of Thrasyllos, Ancient memorial structure near the Theater of Dionysus, Athens, Greece
The marble monument consists of a facade with two monumental doorways, antae, and a central pillar in front of a natural cave above the Acropolis.
Built in 320-319 BCE by Thrasyllos to commemorate his victory in dramatic competitions, the structure underwent modifications by his son Thrasycles in 271 BCE.
The monument exhibits ten olive wreaths on its frieze and originally displayed three bronze tripods, marking achievements in theatrical performances during ancient Athens.
The structure stands near Dionysiou Areopagitou Street, with access available through the Akropoli metro station on the Red Line, a ten-minute walk away.
During the Christian period, the cave transformed into the Panaghia Spiliotissa church, which remained active until the late twentieth century.
