Description: The Propylaia (Mnesikles) with the Temple of Athena Nike (Kallikrates) on the bastion at the right. c. 437-423 BCE.

The Propylaia originally had no sculptural decoration, but its north wing that served as a dining hall became the earliest known museum.
The asymmetrical plan of the Erechtheion reflects multiple functions as well as the terrain on which it was built.
