A restored elevation of the eastern or principal front of the
central temple of the Acropolis (marked B, Plate I.).

The height of the doorway is the only restoration for which

of them in the Plate.

The researches made on the Acropolis, or western hill, were

of art, and in a better state of preservation than the others,
though still much broken by the blocks of architrave which
had fallen on them. Of the ten metopes of the front, only

enriched with sculpture.
