Enter the Acropolis of Athens, a magnificent site.

It is a home to some of the greatest monuments of ancient Greek architecture.

It was built during the 5th century BC, the Golden Age of Athens when the city became a center for the arts, philosophy, science, and literature, housing influential figures like Socrates, Plato, Sophocles, and Herodotus.

It is a universal symbol of classical spirit and civilization that has shaped the foundation of our modern world.

Dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, warfare, and protection.
