Acropolis of Athens

Perched on a limestone hill above the city, the Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel built during the second half of the 5th century BC. The Acropolis was built to honour the city's patron goddess, Athena, and is the most complete surviving ancient Greek monumental complex. The best time to visit is at opening time, and when you reach the top don't forget to take a photo of the city below!
