🏛️Greece 🇬🇷, Acropolis of Athens

🔶The Athenian Acropolis is a 156–meter-high hill with a temple complex erected on it, protecting the townspeople from enemy raids. The upper city, which occupies an area measuring 300 by 130 m, was built over many centuries, starting with the ancient Greek archaic and ending with the era of Roman Greece. 

🔶According to legend, the founder of Athens and the Upper City was a half-man, half-snake Cecrope. It was he who preferred the goddess of wisdom as a patroness and erected the first temples in her honor. In the following centuries, more magnificent structures appeared on their ruins, until all the buildings of the Acropolis, with the exception of the fragmentary surviving temple of Hecatompedon, were destroyed by the Persians in the fifth century. During the time of Pericles and immediately after his death, the hill was decorated with the best works of ancient architecture – the Parthenon and the Erechtheion.
