Artemis Sanctuary of Brauron – VII
View from the west wing of the peristyle.
In the foreground, traces of walls defining the square rooms that opened towards the inner of the peristyle from West. Just in front of this wing, a bridge that crossed the Erasinos River marks the endpoint of the road that, in ancient times, led from Athens to the sanctuary of Artemis. The Propylaeum, or main access, to the great stoa was opened on this side.
