Acropolis - The Acropolis of Athens and its monuments stand as universal symbols of classical spirit and civilization, representing the most significant architectural and artistic complex left by Greek Antiquity to the world. In the latter half of the fifth century BC, Athens, after triumphing over the Persians and establishing democracy, emerged as a leader among the ancient city-states. During this era of flourishing thought and art, a remarkable group of artists, under the inspired leadership of sculptor Pheidias and the ambitious plans of Athenian statesman Pericles, transformed the rocky hill into a unique monument of thought and the arts. The most notable structures were erected during this period: the Parthenon, constructed by Ictinus, the Erechtheon, the Propylaea, the grand entrance to the Acropolis designed by Mnesicles, and the small temple of Athena Nike.
