View of the Acropolis in Athens. Rising 490 ft above Athens lie the ruins of the citadel of Acropolis. The site spreads over acres and dates back to the Middle Neolithic era (10,000 BCE). Several monumental spaces such as the Parthenon, Old Temple of Athena, Erechtheum, Temple of Athena Nike, Theatre of Dionysus Eleuthereus, and others can be found in the ruins. A visit to the Acropolis will transport you to a time and epoch when Greece led the world in all disciplines and Doric temples were abundant. Greece.
