The Acropolis, Athens,
Greece
It's almost impossible for people to take
their eyes off the rocky outcrop that looms above the sprawl of Athens and has dominated the city for
millennia. The arresting ancient mound has several incredible classical ruins,
but the Parthenon on its highest reaches is its most iconic structure.
A symbol of the origins of democracy, the classic temple was built in the
5th century BC and dedicated to the goddess Athena.
