Greek Acropolis
The Greek Acropolis is one of the most famous historical sites in the world. The Greek word acropolis means "the highest point of the city," and with stone walls rising up to 300 feet. The Acropolis has served throughout its history as an ideal site for fortresses and temples. Pericles built the major architectural structures of the Acropolis known today, with the principal developments of the Propylaeum, the Parthenon and the Erechtheum completed between 462 B.C. and 404 B.C. In 1205 the Francs occupied Athens and used the Acropolis as a fortress, ruling the city from the Propylaeum and converting the Parthenon into a Catholic cathedral. The Ottoman Empire annexed Athens in 1456, converting the Parthenon into a mosque and reportedly using the Erechtheum as a harem.
