The prison of Socrates, Athens, Greece
Catsimpoolas, Nicholas · [ca. 1907–1915]
From back of item: On the northeast slope of the Hill of Philappapos are several conspicuous doorways cut in a perpendicularly hewn wall of rock and now closed with wooden gates painted red. This is the so-called Prison of Socrates, and consists of three chambers hewn in the solid rock which that in the center was never finished.
