The Porch of the Maidens



The Erechtheum at the Acropolis. These are replicas however to protect the originals from further erosion.

There is an error on Wikipedia at the moment. It correctly states that one of the maidens is in the British Museum, but there are in fact four maidens in the Acropolis Museum. The sixth maiden has been destroyed.
