An important historical heritage of ancient Greek culture is worth a visit. If you go, it is best to understand the culture in advance or find a commentator. If you go by yourself, you will be watching the flowers, and you may not know the interesting things about history. The only thing to note is that you don&#39;t bring any equipment related to commercial shooting, which may be temporarily deducted when entering the park. The second is not to touch the marble, even if it is not surrounded, you can&#39;t touch it. Some staff have been guarding it and remind tourists not to touch the marble.

Acropolis Museum

Museums

千帆尽处无夕阳

The biggest feature of the Acropolis Museum is her spatial design, which is equivalent to making the Acropolis as a whole a space easy. Standing in front of the huge glass curtain, watching the Acropolis ruins, it is like a space conversion. The sculpture art of ancient Greece is indeed inextricably added. My favorite is the maiden column of the Poseidon Temple; it is said that everyone has been visiting the Acropolis Museum for a long time before a sculpture. It is a pity that my stay is too short. I suggest you leave more time for the Acropolis Museum for at least half a day.

The Athens Archaeological Museum is the largest museum in Greece, with nearly 20,000 collections, covering artifacts from prehistory to late antiquity, and is a microcosm of ancient Greek civilization. It is worth a visit, but unfortunately there is no Chinese explanation... If you see a collection you like, you can only use translation software to understand the history...

Parthenon

环球史蒂夫

Theater of Herodes Atticus and Caryatids and Parthenon
However, the Caryatids in the Acropolis are not authentic. The authentic ones are in the nearby Acropolis Museum and... the British Museum

Like most Greek temples, this temple was also used as a treasury.
1. It was built in 447 BC to replace the old Parthenon (destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC).
2. For a while, it was the treasury of the Delian League (which later evolved into the Athenian Empire).
3. In the 6th century AD, the Parthenon was converted into a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary (the original Athena was also a virgin).
4. In the early 1460s, after being conquered by the Ottoman Turks, it was used as a mosque.
5. It was used as a gunpowder magazine by the Turkish army in 1687 and was unfortunately severely damaged in an explosion.
6. By 1800, only half of the Parthenon statues survived. After obtaining approval from the Ottoman government, British Ambassador Sir Elgin began to transport half of the surviving statues back to Britain at his own expense starting in 1801, and they began to be exhibited in the British Museum in 1817.

Although it is a restored site, you can feel the heavy sense of history. The ticket inspector did not quickly recognize the admission certificate. I looked at it for a long time and asked why the price was not displayed? We explained that we had to enter.
