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.
