About Asklepieion Of Athens
The Asklepieion of Athens was the sanctuary built in honour of the gods Asclepius and Hygieia, located west of the Theatre of Dionysos and east of the Pelargikon wall on the southern escarpment of the Acropolis hill. It was one of several Asklepieia in the ancient Greek world that served as rudimentary hospitals.
