Did you know?

Acropolis means ‘high city’ in Greek, and it was not originally built as a tourist attraction, but as a fortified citadel.

The Parthenon, the most iconic structure of the Acropolis, was once transformed into a mosque by the Ottoman Empire during their rule.

The Erechtheion temple on Acropolis is said to have a sacred olive tree that was gifted by the Greek goddess Athena herself.

The Acropolis was built using a technique called ‘entasis,’ meaning the columns are slightly thicker in the middle to appear straight to the human eye.

The famous Elgin Marbles, now housed in the British Museum, were originally part of the Parthenon and were taken from the Acropolis by Lord Elgin in the early 19th century.
