SURROUNDING THE ACROPOLIS ARE A MYRIAD OF ANCIENT TREASURES
ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ACROPOLIS STANDS A MONUMENT FOR ARTS, MUSIC AND LETTERS. THE MONUMENT OF LYSICRATES WAS BUILT TO HONOUR MUSIC AND ARTS BACK IN THE LATE 4TH CENTURY BC. TODAY IT STANDS PROUDLY AMONG CLASSICAL OLD ATHENS BUILDINGS IN PLAKA, REMINDING US ALL THAT ARTS AND LETTERS NEVER DIE.
