ACROPOLIS

ACROPOLIS

The term “Acropolis” derives from the Greek words “akron” meaning highest point or extremity, and “polis” meaning city. In ancient times, our ancestors constructed a sacred monument at the highest location of each city. This tradition has resulted in numerous citadels (acropolis) throughout Greece. The Acropolis of Athens, this Sacred Rock adorned by the Parthenon temple honoring the city’s patroness, Goddess Athena, serves as a timeless landmark bridging the present to the glorious past. Drawing millions of visitors annually, it stands as a symbol of cultural and historical significance.
