Everything Else
National Observatory of Athens
Explore the Geoastrophysics Museum, the library of the Observatory, with many historic books and documents, as well as scientific instruments of the 20th and 19th century. See from close by the first optical telescopes of Greece, including the meridian refractor of G. Vouris (1846) and the original 16cm telescope housed under the dome of the Sina's building. The latter was used by Julius Schmidt, the third Director of the NOA (1858-1884), in order to draw the most accurate map of the Moon during that period.

Philopappos’ monument is a two-storey structure, supported by a base. On the lower level there is a frieze representing Philopappos as a consul, riding on a chariot and led by lictors. The upper level shows statues of three men: of Antiochus IV on the left, of Philopappos in the centre and of Seleucus I Nicator, now lost, on the right.
Philopappos died in 116, and his death caused great grief to his sister Julia Balbilla, citizens of Athens and possibly to the imperial family. As a dedication to honor the memory of Philopappos, Balbilla with the citizens of Athen
