Temple of Athena Nike (with baby)

One of the smaller buildings within the Acropolis, but nevertheless beautiful and standing proudly high above the gate. You cannot get that close or go inside, but good views can be had from the steps. It is also visible from many places in Athens due to its prominent position on the edge of the Acropolis.
