Athens Sun Castles☀️

#mediterranean The Parthenon is a former ancient Greek temple on the Athenian Acropolis, dedicated to the goddess Athena Parthenos, built between 447 and 432 BC. Known for its harmonious proportions and marble construction, it's a symbol of classical Greek art, Athenian power, and Western civilization. The temple was the centrepiece of an ambitious building program on the Acropolis under Pericles. Over centuries, the Parthenon has survived numerous events, including earthquakes, wars, and explosions. It was later converted into a Byzantine church and then a mosque. #greece #athens
