The Archaeological Site of Kerameikos in Athens is a vast and ancient site that dates back to prehistoric times. Located on the banks of the Eridanos River, it was considered one of the most sacred areas of Ancient Athens and was home to significant public monuments like the Dipylon gate, the Sacred Gate, and several temples to gods such as Zeus, Poseidon, Demeter, and Hades. These sacred monuments were built by some of antiquity's greatest architects including Hermogenes and Ictinus. The site also contains numerous other fragments from different ancient societies including cemeteries from Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic and Roman times. Additionally, there are large sanctuaries dedicated to various deities as well as remains of pottery workshops.

One of the most notable finds at Kerameikos is the Dipylon gate which was constructed with two large doorways within a single walled enclosure.
