Sanctuary of Pandion

The Sanctuary of Pandion was an ancient Greek sanctuary on the Acropolis of Athens [1]. It is known from ancient inscriptions and from the writings of the traveller Pausanias to have been located on the eastern side of the Acropolis, and to have contained a statue of the hero Pandion, to whom it was dedicated [1]. In antiquity, the Sanctuary of Pandion was the heroon of Pandion, the eponymous hero of the Attic tribe Pandionis [1]. The Sanctuary of Pandion is usually identified with a building in the southeast corner of the Acropolis [1]. This building was excavated in a campaign begun in 1885 by Panagiotis Kavvadias in collaboration with the German architect Georg Kawerau [1].
