Monument of Lysicrates

The Monument of Lysicrates is a small but elegant marble rotunda about 12 meters high, standing on a square pedestal. It is the only fully preserved choregic monument in Athens and one of the few ancient monuments that have come down to us not as ruins. The Monument of Lysicrates is located on the quiet pedestrian street Lysikratous in the Plaka district, in a small square surrounded by a railing that allows all details to be examined from close range.
