Between A.D.114-116 he built his own funeral monument, in a very privileged position facing the Akropolis, which dominated the area and gave his name to the hill. The monument, built from Pentelic marble, is 12 meters height and consists of a large apse-shaped wall on a pedestal of porous limestone. It is adorned with sculptures of Philopappos and some of his ancestors, along with inscriptions giving their titles and names. The Monument of Philoppapos, intact up to the 15th century, gradually fell victim to vandalism and natural phenomena. The monument was partly restored in 1904. Open 24 hours.
