This is Acropolis hill at night. There are a number of important structures on this hill, and they date back six or seven centuries before Christ. The most important of these is the Parthenon. It
was completed in 438 B.C.
It is the symbol of the country, and you think of Greece, or Athens, whenever you see a picture of it. Same is true as when you see a picture of the Statue of Liberty, you think of New York or the
United States. But there are monuments like this all over Greece, and if you are a student of history, you will go crazy here because there is so much to take in and enjoy. Like this ruin in Nemea. |
