(Parthenon build in 447 B.C.)

Built in 447 B.C. and consecrated the goddess of wisdom, the Greek goddess Athena,
the Parthenon (meaning the virgin woman) of Athens was the historical scene of
countless conflicts and natural disasters, but which, even over the years, is still
standing with the help of cranes and means of containment, but nothing that takes
away the beauty, the meaning and the architectural symbolism of one of the legacies
of Greek history. Located at the highest point of the Acropolis (uptown), the Parthenon
is visible to everyone in the city center of Athens, drawing attention for its 70 meters
high and 30 meters wide, surrounded by columns, 8 principal columns and 17 columns
side the temple. The winds that dance between the columns bring a characteristic
sound to the Greek scene, making visitors remember their experience during their visit
to the Parthenon. Even with several sights to visit in Greece, probably the image that
 many visitors bring and carry in their memory is the imposing Parthenon that becomes
impressive in the eyes of all.
