The temple of Athena Nike after its recent anastylosis which integrated many original spare parts of the temple.

The Temple of Athena Nike (Greek: Ναός Αθηνάς Νίκης) is a temple on the Acropolis of Athens. Nike means victory in Greek, and Athena was worshiped in this form, as goddess of victory in war and wisdom. The temple is the earliest fully ionic temple on the Acropolis, compensated by its prominent position on a steep bastion at the south west corner of the Acropolis to the right of the entrance, the Propylaea. There the citizens worshipped the goddess in hope of a prosperous outcome in the long war fought on land and sea against the Spartans and their allies. The Temple of Athena Nike was an expression of Athens' ambition to be the leading Greek city state.
