Acropolis is probably the most significant and most visited monument in the world. It is a testament to the ancient Greek civilization and every year attracts thousands of tourists from all over the world. Most of the monuments were built during the Golden age of Pericles and include The Erechtheion temple, the statues of Caryatides, the Propylea and of course, the Doric-style Temple of Parthenon, dedicated to the Goddess Athena, protector of the ancient city of Athens. The external pillars of Parthenon are not straight but slightly curved so that they give an optical illusion as being straight from every angle they might be seen. The Parthenon was designed by the famous sculptor Phidias, while Ictinos and Callicrates were in charge of the construction work.
