Parthenon |
||||||
 |

|
||||||
| The Parthenon, a temple dedicated to Athena, stands on the Acropolis above Athens. It was built in 447-432 bc and, despite its imperfect state of preservation, conveys a sense of order, balance, and monumental symmetry, for which Greek architecture is justly renowned. | ||||||
