On the second peak of the Acropolis of ancient Thassos, there is the sanctuary of Poliuchos Athena, on a large plateau with a natural configuration to the south and with two isomorphic rampart walls to the west and north.
In addition to the traces of a propylon, the remains of a temple were also found, the plan of which can be distinguished from its surviving foundations.
The building had a vestibule, which opened to the west, a nave and a vestibule.
This monumental complex, which probably dates back to the beginning of the 5th c. BC, succeeded an older phase of the sanctuary, the first half of the 6th century BC, to which belonged a temple of which only part of the foundations and decorated cornice are preserved.
