The oldest of the temples on the Acropolis with a shrine to the minor Attic goddess, Pandrosus.
The guardian serpent there symbolized Athene’s (Athena) protection of the city of Athens; construction was begun circa 420 BCE; it has two Ionic porches and a porch of Karyatides (Caryatides), i.e. columns sculpted into female figures; the entire structure is considered one of the finest examples of classical architecture still in existence.
