The lavish Ionic temple of Athena Nike was completed in the late 420’s BC, probably a year or two before the Peace of Nikias, the treaty signed between Athens and Sparta in March 421 BC that ended the first half of the Peloponnesian War.
The temple was built on top of the Mycenaean bastion overlooking the west slope of the Akropolis; at least two earlier shrines had been dedicated to the goddess on the same site. The building and temenos – or sacred precinct – seem to have been designed by the master architect Kallikrates, although some dispute remains on this point.
