The tomb and shrine of Kekrops, first king of Athens, located on the Acropolis. In the sixth century BC it was marked by a giant Ionic column, which was destroyed in the Persian Sack of 480 BC. The site was partially covered by the southwestern corner of the Erechtheion in the second half of the fifth century BC.
