The Parthenon In The Acropolis Of Athens

Wide angle view of the Parthenon in the Acropolis of Athens. Crowds of tourists and local visitors in front of the Parthenon, an ancient temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, on the Akropolis of Athens on the known sacred rock. People are walking and takings pictures of the ancient monument, while wearing hats because of the Greek sun. The Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel located on a rocky outcrop above the city of Athens and contains the remains of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historical significance, the most famous being the Parthenon attracting millions of tourists and visitors every year. It was built in 432BC by the architects Iktinos and Calicrates with famous sculptures from Phidias inside. Acropolis is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Greece is facing an increased wave of tourist arrivals in pre pandemic levels, as of summer 2022 the numbers are exceeding the era before the COVID-19 Coronavirus travel restriction measures. Tourism is one of the main income sources of the country. As of January 2023 local and international media mention talks between the Greek Government and the British Museum for the long standing dispute of the return of the Parthenon Marbles sculptures, parts of the frieze that have been removed from Lord Elgin and are displayed on the museum in London.
