Propylaea or Propylea or Propylaia is the Monumental Gateway to Acropolis - Acropolis Greece - ECTV

In ancient Greek architecture, a propylaea, propylea or propylaia (/ˌprɒpɪˈliːə/; Greek: προπύλαια) is a monumental gateway. The prototypical Greek example is the propylaea that serves as the entrance to the Acropolis of Athens. The Greek Revival Brandenburg Gate of Berlin and the Propylaea in Munich both evoke the central portion of the Athens propylaea. The Greek word προπύλαιον propylaeon (propylaeum is the Latin version) is the union of the prefix προ- pro-, "before, in front of" plus the plural of πύλη pyle "gate," meaning literally "that which is before the gates," but the word has come to mean simply "gate building." The oldest known freestanding propylaeum is the one located at the palace area in Pasargadae, an Achaemenid capital.[1] A covered passage, called "the Propylaeum", used to face the Palace of Darius at Susa.[2] My name is Eric Clark and I am a world traveler.
