Stand before the Arch of Hadrian - or Adrian's Gate - a monumental gateway in Athens, built in honor of Roman Emperor Hadrian in 131-132 AD. It marked the boundary between the ancient city and the new city developed by Hadrian.

The Temple of Olympian Zeus , also known as the Columns of the Olympian Zeus, is a colossal temple in the centre of Athens, now in ruins. It was dedicated to "Olympian" Zeus, a name originating from his position as head of the Olympian gods. Construction began in the 6th century BC during the rule of the Athenian tyrants but it was not completed until the reign of Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, some 638 years after the project had begun.

Step into the National Garden, a lush, shaded oasis in the heart of Athens, just steps from Syntagma Square. A true oasis at the city's core, with plants and flowers from every corner of the world — many of which still can't be found anywhere else in the country. The path leads naturally to the Zappeion, an elegant 19th-century building surrounded by manicured grounds — a favorite spot for a relaxed stroll and a glimpse of everyday Athenian life away from the crowds.
