Parthenon

The Parthenon is one of Greece's, and now the world's, most famous and ancient buildings. This masterpiece of architecture is located on top of the Acropolis, the highest point in the area. The Parthenon is located in Greece's capital and most populated city, Athens. The building is a temple dedicated to the Greek god of wisdom, Athena. It was completed in the 5th century BC and was mostly undamaged all the way until the 17th century AD. During this time that the Turks were occupying Greece. The Turks were in Greece for about 400 years and for a time used this Greek temple as an arsenal. Unfortunately, the site was bombed and the explosion drastically damaged the Parthenon. However, now there are many restorations being done on the structure so that it can continue to survive the millennia.
