The Pnyx is a historic hill in Athens, Greece, known as the site of the ancient assembly where citizens gathered to discuss and vote on important issues. It served as the heart of Athenian democracy, allowing free male citizens to participate in decision-making processes. The Pnyx is located near the Acropolis and offers a panoramic view of the city. The site features a large, open-air auditorium with stone seating, accommodating thousands of people. The Pnyx was used primarily during the 5th to 4th centuries BCE and is considered a significant symbol of democratic governance in ancient Greece. Today, it remains an important archaeological site.
