The Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the city of Athens. Made up of several ancient buildings including the Parthenon, it is thought to have been inhabited as far back as the fourth millennium BC, though written record only goes as far back as the fifth century BC. One of the most iconic clusters of buildings in the world, it is an impressive sight to behold and one of the most important attractions in all of Greece. Just find a vacation rental in Greece and see it for yourself.
The earliest artifacts found on site date to the Middle Neolithic era, though the structure that stands above the city of Athens today is not nearly so ancient as that. Little is known about the exact appearance of the buildings that stood on this plot before the 5th century BC, though there are records of what some of them where, who built them and what happened to them.
