In the architrave there are two inscriptions: on the west ‘’ THIS IS ATHENS, THE ANCIENT CITY OF THESEUS’’, and in the east:’’ THIS IS THE CITY OF HADRIAN AND NOT OF THESEUS’’, indicating the old and the new city.

In 1778 it was turned into a gate of the defence wall around Athens, the ‘’ Haseki wall’’ or ‘’the Archway’’.

It was the first building worldwide that was constructed exclusively for the Olympic Games. The neoclassical mansion is closely related to the history of Modern Greece. Today it is used as a convention and exhibition centre and it is the place where the results of the elections are announced. 

The National Garden is the greenest place in the city and covers an area of 158 acres. It is situated among the Avenues of Amalia, Queen Sophia, Herodes Atticus and King Konstadine. The flora consists of 7.000 trees and 40.000 bushes. There are, also, ducks, tortoises and lots of birds. The garden is Athenians’ favourite walking place, especially in the summer, when the shadow of the trees offer visitors a shelter from the high temperatures.

It is guarded by the Presidential Guard. These are the ‘’Evzones’’, that wear a red hat, called ‘’Pharion’’, that symbolises the ancestors’ blood for the freedom of the country, the ‘’Fustanella’’, which has a fabric of 30 m. with 400 pleats, which represent the period of the turkish occupation, while the ‘’Tsarouchia’’ have got black tussels, to symbolise the bitterness and death of the ancestors. Their clothes are hand made and their training is very strict.

The ancient stadium, where the Great Panathenaea were taking place every four years, was constructed in 330 B.C and at first it had wooden seats for the noblemen, whereas the rest of the spectators sat on the inclined ground. In 144 B.C Herodes Atticus constructed a new marble stadium in the shape of a petal. As the years were passing by the stadium fell out of use.

In 1894, when Athens undertook the rebirth of the Olympic Games, the reconstruction of the stadium was decided with the donations of the national benefactor George Averoff. The works went on and were completed after the end of the Games, in 1906. The stadium has a capacity of 60.000 seats, it hosts public celebrations and it is the finish of the men’s and women’s Classical Marathon of Athens.
