The Sanctuary of Artemis Brauronia sits on bare bedrock just before the Propylaea, the Acropolis's grand entrance gate. Almost nothing remains visible today except rock cuttings that mark where three porticoes once enclosed a small open courtyard. This was a branch sanctuary of the main temple at Brauron, outside Athens, where Artemis protected pregnant women and children during an era when teenage brides faced terrifyingly high mortality rates in childbirth.

Women left gold jewellery, statues of children, dogs and bears at the wooden statue of Artemis. Little girls were dedicated to serving the goddess for a period, and they called them bears. Ancient descriptions also mention a large bronze statue of the Trojan horse standing in this open space, though no trace survives.

VoiceMap's self-guided audio tours explain how this sanctuary functioned within the Acropolis complex, connecting Artemis's role as protector of vulnerable women to the broader religious landscape of ancient Athens.
