Retaining Wall of Pnyx III (4th century B.C.). Athens, Greece.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: View of the Retaining Wall of the Pnyx from the entrance to the archaeological site on Dim. Eginitou Street. From the information board: "From this point, the visitor enters the Pnyx Hill, which is dominated by the monumental complex of the Ekklesia of the Demos (Assembly Place), with the supporting wall of the cavea of its III building phase during the archonship of Lykourgos (330-326 B.C.), built of stones quarried in the terracing of the monument. The cutting of a stepped pathway below the retaining wall belongs to the II phase of the monument, around 400 B.C. The stone water-channel at the NE is part of the Peisistratid aqueduct."
