The crown of the Athenian Acropolis and the pinnacle of classical Greek architecture, built between 447 and 432 BC by Ictinus and Callicrates under the sculptor Phidias. Dedicated to Athena Parthenos, the Pentelic marble temple incorporates subtle optical refinements, from swelling column entasis to upward curved stylobates. From the sacred rock, panoramas stretch across Athens to the Saronic Gulf and the Aegean Sea.
Highlights
- Pinnacle of 5th-century BC Doric architecture
