Dionysiou Areopagitou Street

The street was first mapped in 1857 in a position more northern than where it is located today, adjacently to the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.

It acquired its current shape in 1955, when it was redesigned by architect Dimitris Pikionis, who also designed the paved paths of the archaeological site.

However, after Makrygianni Street, buildings cease on the north side and give place to the archaeological site of the Acropolis.

On the south side is the Acropolis Museum and an upmarket residential district with apartment buildings and houses.
