This section covers the
Acropolis and the assorted Classical and Roman sites on its
slopes ; the hills of the
Pnyx and
Philoppapus (Filopáppou) over to the southwest; and the neighbouring
Ancient Agora (marketplace) and
Kerameikos (cemetery) to the northwest. This is essentially the core of the ancient, Classical Greek city, though a few further pockets and Roman extensions are covered in the Pláka section.
