Schliemann Mausoleum, Greek Revival mausoleum in First Cemetery of Athens, Greece.
The Schliemann Mausoleum features marble construction rising 8 meters high with detailed friezes depicting scenes from the Iliad and archaeological excavations.
Designed by architect Ernst Ziller in 1892, the mausoleum contains the remains of Heinrich Schliemann, the archaeologist who discovered ancient Troy and Mycenae.
The structure incorporates classical Greek architectural elements, reflecting Schliemann's dedication to Ancient Greek civilization through its Temple of Nike-inspired design.
Located in Athens' main cemetery, visitors can view the mausoleum during regular cemetery hours while exploring numerous other notable Greek monuments.
The mausoleum's frieze includes an unusual portrayal of Schliemann directing archaeological excavations while wearing nineteenth-century clothing among classical figures.
