Most of the papers are in Greek. Therefore, the restorations are fully compatible with the original parts of the monuments.
The Acropolis has been operating as an archaeological site since , shortly after the establishment of the modern Greek State. Moreover, the Ministry of Culture, Education and Religious Affairs implements the legislative decrees concerning the safeguarding of the property and its peripheral zone which corresponds to the boundaries of the ancient city of Athens and its surroundings and ensures the visual integrity of the site.
Especially for the restoration, protection and monitoring of the property, an advisory body, the Committee for the Restoration and Conservation of the Acropolis Monuments, was founded in and is responsible for planning, directing and supervising the interventions. The extensive research programme and the methodology implemented are innovative in this field and act as a reference point for other restoration projects. The financial resources for the works on the site are derived from the State budget as well as from European Union funds.
Special attention has been paid to the accessibility of the site, to pathways and to visitor facilities, especially for disabled people. Furthermore, emergency plans for visitor security and scientific studies for the protection of the site, such as monitoring of earthquake activity, are being carried out.

Authenticity The authenticity of the Acropolis hill, crowned with the masterpieces of Greek Classical art and architecture, is well preserved.
Protection and management requirements The Acropolis has been operating as an archaeological site since , shortly after the establishment of the modern Greek State. It was destroyed in by the inhabitants of the city who blamed the statue for a crusader invasion they suffered.
This area of the Acropolis is the area where all public buildings were built. It was the part of the hill where all the major artistic, spiritual and religious activities of the city took place, hence its importance to ancient Athens. Here are the most important monuments standing in this area:. The remaining ruins of the 5th-century theatre built in stone and marble by Lycourgos indicate the greatness of the site: the auditorium had 17 seats of which only 20 survived.
The Greek Archaeological Society started excavations around the sanctuary of Dionysos and brought to light the theatre of Dionysos in The decorative relief at the rear of the stage is from the 2nd century BC and depicts Dionysos life and myths. Unfortunately, most of the figures are headless.
During the golden age of Pericles, when Athens was at its peak, one of the major events of the year was the annual Festival of the Great Dionysia, introduced in the 6th-century AD by the tyrant Pisistratus. It was a very interesting and cultural event.
Politicians and rich people would sponsor dramas and comedies by theatrical writers like Aristophanes, Aeschylus, Euripides, and Sophocles. Visitors would come from all around Attica to enjoy the plays and the different festivities. The Romans have also used the Theatre of Dionysos for their state events, some ceremonies, and even theatrical performances. This temple was erected in BC by Thrasyllos. It was standing on the katatome , the great rock that had been artificially evened out vertically for the construction of the Theatre of Dionysos.
The only remains of this temple are the two Ionic columns standing above the lovely, tiny Chapel of Panagia Hrysospiliotissa our Lady of the Golden Cave , which was built into a small cave of a cliff hidden behind the Theatre of Dionysos. Beneath the Asclepion stands a long colonnade that was built by Eumenes the second, the king of Pergamos BC. This colonnade is known as the stoa of Eumenes, and it was built of stone and marble and was used as a shelter and a promenade way for the theatre's public.
It is located on the left top of the wooden steps leading to the Theatre of Dionysos. It is composed by some foundations of the Temple of Asklepios, a Doric stoa used as the katagogion , an Ionic stoa dating from the end of the 5th century BC and an altar.
The excavation of the Asklepieion was made by the Greek Archaeological Service. This theatre was built by Herodes Atticus, a wealthy Roman. He created this architectural miracle in AD , in loving memory of his wife Regilla. This huge construction has a 38m radius, which allows it to offer space for more than spectators. The seats were made of marble. It was discovered in and restored in The summer Athens Festival which takes place every year nowadays uses the Theatre of Herodes Atticus from musical to dancing performances or theatrical plays.
