Parthenon
The Parthenon is one of Greece's most ancient buildings. This masterpiece of architecture is located on top of the highest point in Greece's capital, Athens. The building is a temple dedicated to the Greek god of wisdom, Athena. It was completed in the 5th century BC. Unfortunately, the site was bombed at one point and the explosion damaged the Parthenon. However, now there are many restorations being done so that it can continue to survive the millennia.
