Parthenon

Athens is a city with many cultural relics, especially the temples. We visited many temples in Greece. When we took a boat tour of the Aegean Sea, we also visited the famous temples on the island. Greece is still very cultural.

The Temple of Patterson is located in the Acropolis C. It is the largest temple in ancient Greece and one of the most famous temples in Athens. It is a temple built for Athena, the patron saint of the city states. It stands at the highest point of the Acropolis. It was built 2000 years ago. It is the architecture and sculpture of the Greek peak. The representative has the name of "the national treasure of Greece" and is also one of the world-famous world heritage sites.

This was taken on the Acropolis: the Temple of Victory (Figure 3), the Parthenon (Figure 5. Still renovating ing), the Temple of Iraktion (Figure and Figure 4), the Dionysus Theatre, Atticus Theatre. The guided tour bought one day in advance is particularly good. Departing at 5 pm, the sun is going to set, not hot at all, and there are not many tourists. The tour guide is a historian and the introduction along the way is very detailed. Includes the story behind the construction of the Acropolis Museum, the trees in the Acropolis Mountains, the Acropolis has experienced several disasters and historical changes, Athens' efforts in the field of international recovery of cultural relics (for the British Museum), the story of the medical god Dionysus, the story of the goddess of War and the story of the three main gods of Poseidon. Another surprise, there are so many cats in the Acropolis! They are the only guests who can enter and exit the temple at will. The staff will put cat food for stray cats regularly.

So much history went through this place. Be mindful of noon hours in the summer as there is barely no shadow and it will be VERY hot

The entrance to the Acropolis, through the Propylaea, looks to the right to the famous Parthenon. The temple is built in white marble, 31 meters wide, 70 meters deep and 10 meters high, and the roof and walls are decorated with exquisite sculptures with Greek mythology. It is said that in ancient times, the temple was dedicated to the statue of the patron goddess Athena, all made of gold and ivory, but now only imagine the statue's exquisiteness. In addition to its magnificent appearance, the other great thing about the temple is its golden ratio, which is a model of classical architecture. Unfortunately, such a great building has been broken up after the history, many fine carvings have been stolen, and the shrine was damaged when Turkey occupied Greece.

The Parthenon, known as the "National Treasure of Greece", is the main representative of the architecture and sculptures of the heyday of Greece. It is revered as a symbol of the democracy of ancient Greece and Athens. It is one of the world-famous world cultural heritages. It stands tall and magnificent in the commanding heights of the Acropolis ancient complex. The temple built in the 5th century BC to celebrate the victory of Athens over the Persian invaders has been attacked by more than 2,000 years of vicissitudes and fires. Now the temple has collapsed and the statues have been completely unrelieved and have been denuded. The Parthenon temple is built by famous designer Iktinos. And Kallikrates, who presided over the construction of rectangular distribution, covers about half a football field, and is supported by 46 white marble columns on both sides of the east and west, 8 on each side, 17 on each side of the north and south, and the height of the column is nearly 2 meters in diameter. The superb architectural skills of the Greeks are in pursuit of rational beauty. The interior of the temple is not open to tourists, but the magnificent appearance of the temple can still be seen from the staggering colonnades~

Absolutely mysterious place, every building is very majestic, just like in cartoons
