The Parthenon
One of the most magnificant buildings in the world... sitting atop the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, the Parthenon still stand proudly after passing well over 2000 years of history.
About this place:
The Parthenon (ancient Greek: Παρθενώναs) is a temple of the Greek goddess Athena built in the 5th century BC on the Acropolis of Athens. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered to be the culmination of the development of the Doric order. Its decorative sculptures are considered one of the high points of Greek art. The Parthenon is regarded as an enduring symbol of ancient Greece and of Athenian democracy, and is one of the world's greatest cultural monuments. The Greek Ministry of Culture is currently carrying out a program of restoration and reconstruction.[1]
