A Temple Fit for a Goddess

An impressive example of ancient Greek architecture, the Parthenon is a cultural landmark like no other. It once served as a treasury and at another point housed a Christian church. Now, the Parthenon is a must-see sight and the unchallenged highlight of visiting the Acropolis (and for some, Greece in general). And with good reason; By many engineers and architects, it is considered the most perfect structure ever built. The sculptures and the Parthenon Marbles are of such exquisite craftsmanship and beauty that they almost seem to breathe. The Parthenon has been voted the most beautiful building in the world according to Business Insider, followed by The National Congress of Brazil in Brasília, The São Paulo Museum of Art (São Paulo, Brazil) and The Forbidden City Temple in Beijing, (China). #fallingforfall #mytripvlog #tripblazers
