The Temple of Athena Nike is an ancient Ionic Greek temple dedicated to the Greek Gods, Athena and Nike. It is situated on the southwest bastion of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. It is a small yet impressive structure standing 7m high on the southwest corner of the Acropolis.
The nuanced architecture of the temple with white marble and scenic views from all points often gives it the name ‘pearl of the Acropolis.’ Designed by the architect, Kallikrates, the temple was completed around 420 BC and stood for victory as well as to greet visitors to Athena’s complex. It has undergone various reconstructions, and many pieces of the earlier structure are now preserved in the Acropolis Museum.
