The Brauroneion was a sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Artemis Brauronia in the Akropolis Sanctuary in Athens, Greece.
Built during the reign of the tyrant Peisistratos, the sanctuary was located between the Propylea and the Chalkotheke, and consisted of a portico and a wooden statue of Artemis and a doe. The statue was later replaced with a marble one carved by the famous sculptor Praxiteles.[1]
