Ancient Athens and Modern Athens Thematic Map 1: 4800

Thematic map for Ancient Athens and Modern Athens with historical and architectural elements.

2 maps – one city. For the first time, Athens is depicted in its evolution over time, from the first Themistoclean walls to the Museum of Modern Art. The map of Ancient Athens is an invitation to abstraction. What would Athens be like if the rivers Iridanos and Ilissos still flowed? If the relief shown on the map with equal dimensions every 5 meters had not been lost? Visual concentric lines around the Acropolis show the evolution of the ancient walls and core of the Ancient City. Look on the map for the places where the wall is visible today. On the reverse side of the map there is a detailed layout of the Ancient Agora and the Acropolis.

Characteristic buildings or monuments are marked with a number on the map, while the most important ones are illustrated with a 3D sketch.

The map of Modern Athens highlights the buildings that shaped the architectural identity of the city. Museums, statues, names and subway stops are displayed on the map. On the reverse side you can also find the paths that cross the National Garden and the Zappeion.
