Acropolis

 This is a shot of the acropolis from above.
This is a layout of it from above . It is made up of many buildings instead of just the Parthenon. (which is #1 on the chart) The Old temple of Athena is next to it (#2) and the temple of Athena Nike is in the front as you come up the path(#6) The Acropolis is a huge landmark that over looks the city state of Athens and in ancient times showed the power and wealth of the Greeks. This is a plateau that sits above Athens that is 490 feet above sea level. It lays in ruin today but is a reminder of our own architechtual history.
