Acropolis

On the rocky hill of the Acropolis, which dominates the center of modern Athens, was the most important and majestic sanctuary of the ancient city, dedicated primarily to its patron goddess Athena. This sacred site relates to the most important myths of ancient Athens, the great religious festivals, the older cults of the city and some of the events that are crucial to its history.

The Acropolis monuments, harmoniously combined with the natural environment, are unique masterpieces of ancient architecture, expressing pioneering correlations of rhythms and trends of classical art and influencing the spiritual and artistic creation for many centuries later. The Acropolis of the 5th c. e.g. best attributes the grandeur, power and wealth of Athens at the time of its greatest prosperity, Pericles' "golden age".
