DescriptionAncient
monuments and their remnants are to this day emblematic and nostalgic Athenian
landmarks, irrefutably documenting the continuity of ancient and modern Greece.
Historical paintings, such as "Interior. Parthenon" and "The Temple of Olympian Zeus" by Vincenzo Lanza, or "The Temple of Athena Nike" by
Stefanos Lanza, radiate admiration for the greatness of antiquity in the early
years of the Greek State.
