点评:If you are visiting Athens, this should be on your list of things to see. Located on a small hill on the Northwest side of the Agora, the temple is dedicated to the god of craftsmanship, metalworking, and fire. The ancient Agora site was a marketplace in ancient times and the temple would have been surrounded by foundries and blacksmith metal shops. The temple, which was erected between 460 and 420 BC, can be seen from the top of the Acropolis and is reportedly the best-preserved and intact temple in Greece. The condition was maintained due to its use as a Greek Orthodox Church starting in the 7th century. During the 18th century, many powerful and important citizens of Athens were buried there, and between 1834-1930 the temple was used as an archaeological museum. Although you can't go inside the temple, you can get within several yards of it. From the front porch you can see into the inner area which once held the statues of the gods. As you walk completely around it, note the intricate marble columns that reflect the architectural style of ancient Greek temples. Because it's a little out of the way and on a small hill, it is generally never crowded, so there's not a problem being able to get up close to view it. And although the walkway steps leading up to the temple are not that steep, there are no handrails which made it difficult for me (age 76) to walk back down the steps. The Monastiraki Metro Station makes it relatively accessible.
翻译:如果您正在游览雅典,那么这应该在您的必看景点清单上。这座神庙位于集市西北侧的一座小山上,供奉着工艺、金属加工和火之神。古代集市遗址在古代是一个市场,神庙周围应该有铸造厂和铁匠铺。这座神庙建于公元前 460 年至 420 年之间,可以从雅典卫城的顶部看到,据说是希腊保存最完好的神庙。由于从 7 世纪开始它被用作希腊东正教教堂,因此保持了这种状态。在 18 世纪,许多雅典的权贵和重要公民被埋葬在那里,在 1834 年至 1930 年间,这座神庙被用作考古博物馆。虽然您不能进入神庙,但您可以走到离它几码远的地方。从前廊可以看到曾经供奉众神雕像的内部区域。当你绕着它走一圈时,你会发现那些复杂的大理石柱子反映了古希腊神庙的建筑风格。由于它有点偏僻,而且位于一座小山上,所以通常不会很拥挤,所以可以近距离观看它。虽然通往寺庙的步道台阶并不陡峭,但没有扶手,这让我(76 岁)走下台阶很困难。蒙纳斯提拉奇地铁站让这里相对方便。
