The story

Story · Arriforion

You're standing on the Acropolis of Athens, on its north side, just west of the Erechtheion. Take a look at the north wall. There you'll see remains of walls, made of layers of square limestone blocks. This is what's left of the Arrephorion, the House of the Arrephoroi. Most people hurry past, but these stones come with one of the most mysterious stories of the ancient city.
