The Acropolis is the most famous landmark in Greece, combining the period of the ancient world with the present. The stunning landmark is made of marble and limestone. The Acropolis became the symbol of Greece and the center of Athens from 432 BC, when the first buildings were completed. Ancient beauty can be seen from all over the modern city and can become a guideline for excursions around it.
Acropolis fanned by legends was erected by Kekrops as a snake-man in honor of the goddess Athena. Cyclopes took part in the laborious work of moving blocks of stone. Since the time of the initial development, the territory of the Acropolis has undergone restructuring for centuries, and new monuments have been erected - fascinating details can be found on excursions. Today, restoration work is underway there.
The building of antiquity is located on a hill of limestone towering 156 m above sea level, previously impregnable for invaders from all sides.
Parthenon - the main building in the composition of the ensemble. Construction began in 447 BC, at the end of which the temple complex was consecrated, the following years the interior decoration was refined. The flat lines of the building are deceptive. Iktin took into account the deception of the human eye and made the columns thicker in the center, angled more in diameter than the others and increased the distance between the middle ones, which facilitated the construction, at the same time made it more monumental.
Hekatompedon - stood for several decades, during which it was known as the main temple of the state.
Erechtheion —the temple, the creation of which is told by the legend of the dispute between Athena and Poseidon, in support of which it grew near the olive tree and began to beat the source.
Niki's temple is already located outside the Acropolis, as well as other sights with interesting stories that you can get acquainted with, perhaps, on our excursions. Book your FoxiePass online ticket and you won’t have to wait in line.
