Erechtheion

The Erechtheion is temple dedicated to Athena the Greek Goddess of wisdom, and Poseidon the Greek God of the sea.  The temple is located on north side of the Acropolis. In my opinion it  is the most impressive ruin in the Acropolis. It really takes your breath away, when you fist set eyes on it. It is just awe inspiring.  Seeing this building was one of the awe moments I had on my trip. What makes it such an amazing temple. Is The Porch Of The Caryatids. Which you can see in the picture is a small porch with 6 statues  of women as pillars.
