Description
Drawing of the Propylaea at the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. "The Propylaia (Propylaea) were built as a monumental entrance to the Acropolis rock. It is an impressive building that surrounds the natural entrance to the plateau, and one approached it in ancient times through an inclining ramp that led visitors straight through the steps in front of the Propylaia ... The Propylaia is a building of the Doric order with few Ionic columns supporting the roof of the central wing,"--AncientGreece.org
