The Acropolis is like a fortress for Athens back in the days. Due to war and earthquake, many buildings have been burned down and torn apart. The remains is what we see today. The word Acropolis comes from a Greek word, Acro = edge, Polis = city. One of the famous building in The Acropolis is the Parthenon. It is a temple dedicated to the Greek goddess, Athena.
Ruins always saddens me. Like this is what’s left for us now when once, it was such a grand structure. It’s also good that you visit The Acropolis Museum before climbing up that hill to see the ruins. You’ll get a better understanding of the history.
