The earliest temple to Athena on the Acropolis, is called 'the Old temple' was located between the Erechtheion and the Parthenon. The Old temple was damaged by the Persians in 480 BC, but was repaired right after; parts of the monument were
incorporated in the Acropolis fortification wall. The temple was damaged again in 406 bc, after the completion of the Erechtheion and was never rebuilt. The Old temple was a Doric, peripteral structure with six columns on the short sides and twelve on the long sides. There was
the wooden cult statue of the goddess Athena. The east part of the temple consisted of three rooms, each dedicated to the worship of Poseidon-Erechtheus, Hephaistus and
Boutes. towards the Erechtheion, the remains are visible today, along with two stone column bases from the temple.
