 The Parthenon is the remains of a temple to the Greek goddess Athena, the patron goddess of the ancient City of Athens.

 The Parthenon is a temple located on the Acropolis, a hill overlooking the city of Athens, Greece.  The Parthenon in Athens is considered to be the finest example of Doric-style construction.  The Parthenon was designed by Phidias, a Greek politician, credited with the founding of the city of Athens and with stimulating the so- called "Golden Age of Greece".

 Many treasures would have been displayed in the building.  The glory of the Parthenon was the gigantic statue of Athena designed by Phidias and made out of elephant ivory and gold.

 Work on the building began in 447 BCE and continued until 438 BCE; some of the decorations were completed later.  It was built over the site of an earlier temple which is sometimes called the Pre-Parthenon.

 The Acropolis is the hill in Athens on which the Parthenon stands.  "Acro" means "high" and "polis" means "city" - so it is literally the "high city". Many other places in Greece have an acropolis but "The Acropolis" usually refers to the site of the Parthenon in Athens.

 The Parthenon is a clear example of Doric design with Ionic architectural features.  The architects used a intelligent visual effect with the design of the building.  Ionic columns were used.  This style would be copied later by the Romans.
