The caryatids stand outside the 5th century BCE temple built to honor Athena and Poseidon between 421 and 406 BCE.
The temple stands at the north end of the Acropolis built on a rocky outcrop which was first inhabited around 6,000 years ago.
The caryatids, six female figures, can be found on the southside supporting a porch.
The sculptures there today are replicas, five of the originals are in the Acropolis Museum, the sixth having been taken to London by Lord Elgin, and now resides in the British Museum.
