Offering stunning vistas, the Acropolis has served as a royal residence, a fortress, a mythical abode of the gods, and a religious hub since prehistoric times. It has endured formidable attacks, massive earthquakes, and more over the centuries. A modern marvel, it is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and houses the star attraction and centerpiece of the Acropolis, the Parthenon.
