What to expect
The Acropolis of Athens is a universal symbol of classical spirit and civilization, and forms the greatest architectural and artistic complex bequeathed by Greek Antiquity to the world. The site includes several monuments, such as the Parthenon, the Propylaia, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Athena Nike, which were built in the fifth century BC under the supervision of the greatest architects, sculptors, and artists of their time. The Acropolis became a sacred precinct in the eighth century BC with the establishment of the cult of Athena Polias, and it flourished under Peisistratos in the mid-sixth century BC. Visitors can explore the site and see the impressive monuments, which reflect the splendor, power, and wealth of Athens at its greatest peak
