Acropolis of Athens

The Acropolis of Athens is one of the most iconic landmarks in the world and the symbolic heart of ancient Greece. Perched on a rocky hill 150 meters above sea level, it has stood for over 2,500 years as a testament to the art, philosophy, and democracy that defined Classical Athens. The word Acropolis means "high city" in Greek. While many ancient Greek cities had an acropolis, the one in Athens is the most famous. It served as a religious and ceremonial center, dedicated primarily to Athena, the city’s patron goddess.#athens #acropolis #greece
