Acropolis, Athens

A Preview

"You're at the foot of the Acropolis, about to climb to the most famous building on earth, and most of this walk happens inside the ticketed site, so have your ticket ready. The Parthenon has been a temple, a church, a mosque and a gunpowder store. It's been blown up, carried off in pieces, patched with iron, and patched again to undo the iron."
