Free view: Greece's famed Parthenon is clear of scaffolding for the first time in decades.

The iron constructions inevitably hid certain details and altered the aesthetic experience on the Sacred Rock of the Acropolis, however the scaffolding is set to return for restoration work to continue.

Enter the Acropolis of Athens, a magnificent site.

It is a home to some of the greatest monuments of ancient Greek architecture.

It was built during the 5th century BC, the Golden Age of Athens when the city became a center for the arts, philosophy, science, and literature, housing influential figures like Socrates, Plato, Sophocles, and Herodotus.

It is a universal symbol of classical spirit and civilization that has shaped the foundation of our modern world.

Dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, warfare, and protection.

Noch'n Nachtrag:

Noch ein anderer #Kirchturm
im selben #Hafen,
in mediterranem Gelb-Weiß.

Hier kann man außerdem
bei genauerer Betrachtung
außer dem Schiff neben dem
Turm noch etwas entdecken,
das es nur hier gibt...

From Lycabettus to Philopappou in Athens

After breakfast at the Grande Bretagne, we walked over to take the funicular up to Lycabettus. We checked out the church at the peak and walked down, visiting another church on the way. We then took the Metro to Monastiraki, had lunch, and visited Hadrian's Library and the Roman Agora on our way to Philopappou, which had a fantastic view of the Acropolis.
