Seeing the Acropolis is essential and the epitome of a visit to Athens.
The monument of Parthenon on top of the Acropolis hill, dedicated by the Athenians to Athena Parthenos, the patron of their city, is the most magnificent creation of Athenian democracy at the height of its power. It is also the finest monument on the Acropolis in terms of both conception and execution.
