The Acropolis in Athens is one of the world’s most important architectural, historic and cultural treasures. 
Η Ακρόπολη στην Αθήνα είναι ένας από τους πιο σημαντικούς αρχιτεκτονικούς, ιστορικούς και πολιτιστικούς θησαυρούς του κόσμου.
Millions of tourists from all over the world travel to Athens to visit the glorious place every year. (Photo: Phivos Kyriakides).

The three most important temples the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Nike, dedicated to Athena Parthenos, Athena Polias, and Athena-Apteros Nike, were built during the period 450-330 B.C. 
Οι τρεις πιο σημαντικοί ναοί ο Παρθενώνας, το Ερέχθειο και ο ναός της Νίκης, αφιερωμένος στην Αθηνά Παρθένο, Αθηνάς Πολιάδος, και Αθηνά-Απτέρου Νίκης, χτίστηκαν κατά τη διάρκεια της περιόδου 450-330 π.Χ.

Ο Παρθενώνας είναι ένα μαγικό ανθρώπινο κατασκεύασμα. Η αρχιτεκτονική και τα μαθηματικά που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν θεωρούνται πάρα πολύ πρωτοποριακά για εκείνη την εποχή και όχι μόνο.
