Background Acropolis Athens
The Acropolis is a prehistoric settlement perched high above Athens, Greece, on a limestone hill. Over the years, the Acropolis served as a royal residence, a fortification, the mythical setting for the gods’ home, a place of worship, and a popular tourist destination. It still survives as a testament to the lengthy history of Greece despite having weathered bombardment, enormous earthquakes, and vandalism. There are multiple temples there, the most well-known of which is the Parthenon, and it is now a cultural UNESCO World Heritage site.
Greek for “high city,” “acropolis” can refer to any of the country’s several fortifications built on rocky, higher terrain. However, the Acropolis of Athens is the most well-known. The Acropolis is situated on the Attica plateau and is made of limestone rock that dates to the Late Cretaceous period, when dinosaurs still roamed the planet.
