Acropolis - Monument to Philhellenes

Going up towards the Acropolis from Dionysíou Areopagítou Street (where the tourist buses stop), not on the broad paved way but on the footpath beside the Odeion of Herodes Atticus, we see on the left a triangular marble pillar with an inscription commemorating the French general Baron Nicolas Favier (1782-1855) and Major Frank Robert, who defended the Acropolis against the Turks in 1826.
