Pantheon of Athens, Greek sanctuary in Plaka, Athens, Greece.
The Pantheon of Athens is an ancient religious site in the Plaka district whose exact location remains uncertain today. The remains show features typical of Greek sanctuaries, with foundations and fragments scattered beneath the modern streets.
The sanctuary was built during Athens' classical period as a religious center for citizens. Over the centuries it was destroyed, and today only archaeological finds remain to confirm its past existence.
This sanctuary was where local residents came to pray and make offerings to the gods. The remains show how central religious practice was to daily life in ancient Athens.
The exact position of these ruins is not clearly marked, but it lies somewhere in Plaka beneath modern houses and streets. Visitors should expect uneven ground and will find only partially preserved remains with informational signage.
The exact location of this ancient site remains a mystery today because historical sources and archaeological evidence do not always align. Researchers continue to study scattered pottery fragments and stone pieces to uncover where the sanctuary truly stood.
