Athens, greek for "Acropolis", originally meaning "city on a high place" or "city-state on a high hill", has a history of nearly 2600 years. The ruins of the Acropolis are located southwest of the present-day city of Athens, built on a limestone hill at an altitude of 150 meters above sea level, and are sacred places dedicated to athena, the patron saint of Athens, and the chief responsible for the construction of the complex is the sculptor Phidias. The Acropolis, originally meant the sacred place of the slave-owning rulers, was built here in ancient times as a temple and a defensive fortress of the city.

Among the ancient Greek sites, the most famous is the Acropolis, built during the Golden Age of Athens. For more than 2,000 years, the Acropolis has been the most spectacular sight in the city of Athens. The destruction of war, the blasphemy of religion, the plundering of culture, none of this can weaken its charm. Buried in the ruins of the Acropolis are the ideals of the Greek Golden Age, the philosophy of Socrates, and the geometry of Pythagoras. As a masterpiece of ancient Greek architecture, the Acropolis reached the highest level of ancient Greek holy land complexes, temples, columns and carvings. #Figureworm Premium Graphic Plan ##图文 - Photography Everyday #
