The Parthenon is a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, located atop the Acropolis hill in Athens, Greece. It was built between 447-432 BCE during the Classical period of Ancient Greece, under the direction of the famous sculptor Phidias. The temple is constructed in the Doric style and features 46 outer columns, each measuring 34 feet in height. The Parthenon served as a symbol of Athens' cultural and political power, and its elaborate sculptures and decorations, including the famous frieze depicting the Panathenaic procession, made it a masterpiece of classical Greek art. The building has undergone significant damage and reconstruction over the centuries, including during the Ottoman Empire and World War II, but it remains an iconic symbol of Greek architecture and cultural heritage.
