Philopapou hill

To the south-west of the Acropolis, on top of the hill of the Muses, lies the burial monument built by the Athenians for Gaius Julius Antiochus Philopappos, grandson of the last king of Commagene and eminent benefactor of Athens. Today, Philopappos Hill is one of the few green areas in the city and an ideal place for walking, with magnificent views of the Acropolis and the sea. It is also a favourite promenade place for the Athenians.
