Classic art and architecture is synonymous with Greece. Renowned for its pursuit of perfection and harmonious proportions, it found its pinnacle in the Acropolis of Athens. More than 2,500 years ago this ancient citadel, perched atop a rocky hill, became a sanctuary for architectural and artistic masterpieces. The Parthenon, a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, stands as the most iconic structure on the Acropolis, showcasing the Doric order’s grandeur.
Today, the Acropolis Museum, a beacon of ancient history and cultural heritage, marks its 15th anniversary in collaboration with Google Arts & Culture to bring the wonders of the Acropolis to your fingertips, offering a captivating virtual journey through time.
