What to expect
Things to look out for
The Acropolis is one of the most famous and visited monuments in the world and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Every year millions of visitors come to admire the symbol of Ancient Greek civilisation and of Athens today. On the Acropolis hill there are several monuments, most of them built during the golden age of Pericles (5th century BC).
The word ""Acro-polis"" means city by the edge. Towering over the capital, it is a very impressive sight, and walking around on its grounds gives you a feeling of awe and a true sense of the greatness of the ancient Greeks.
The Parthenon, dedicated by the Athenians to Athena Parthenos, the patron of their city, is the most magnificent creation of the Athenian democracy at the height of its power. It is also the finest monument on the Acropolis in terms of both conception and execution. Built between 447 and 438 BC as part of the great Periklean building project that began after the victory at the battle of Marathon, the Parthenon was designed by the architects Iktinos and Kallikrates, while the sculptor Pheidias supervised the entire building program and conceived the temple's sculptural decoration and chryselephantine statue of Athena.
