The Parthenon is an ancient temple, which can be safely assigned the status of the main symbol of Athens and Greece as a whole. Together with other buildings that make up the Acropolis of Athens, this monument adds to the World Heritage List. Standing proudly on the very top of the Acropolis, the Parthenon is perfectly visible from anywhere in the city. The idea of building a sanctuary came about 2.5 thousand years ago to the Athenian reformer Pericles, who commissioned the famous masters of that time to design and build a monumental structure.
