Propylaia

A particular main entrance going into the inside is a common feature to religious locations. It was customary in ancient Greek architecture for any significant religious site to have a primary gate. This major gateway, the Propylaia, has taken on a unique significance in Acropolis. It is neither only a gate going into the sacred area, nor is it only an architectural appendage to the main temple complex. The Propylaia play an exquisite and one-of-a-kind role. They represent the magnanimous nature of the Athenian Acropolis. This is why, rather of being a simple gate, the Propylaia is magnificently built as a complex and harmonious public monument.

The Evzones execute the renowned "changing of guard" on Syntagma, in front of the Unknown Soldier monument ,every hour. Two Evzones come in front of the monument of the Unknown Soldier to take the place of their colleagues. The Evzones who until then stood motionless guarding the monument, start an impressive gait by stretching their limbs which is a great spectacle. The same steps are followed by the Evzones who are going to replace them. When the show, which lasts about 15 minutes ,is over, the Evzones stand still to guard the monument while their tired colleagues return to their barracks to rest.
