Parthenon Of Acropolis – Athens | Greece [4K]

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. The Parthenon (Greek: Παρθενώνας) is a former temple on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, that was dedicated to the goddess Athena during the fifth century BC. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of Greek art, an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece, democracy and Western civilization. The word acropolis is from the Greek words ἄκρον (akron, “highest point, extremity“) and πόλις (polis, “city“). The term acropolis is generic and there are many other acropoleis in Greece. During ancient times the Acropolis of Athens was known also more properly as Cecropia, after the legendary serpent-man, Cecrops, the supposed first Athenian king. _____ Shots, Video Making: Theofilos Mpampoulis Equipment Used: DJI Mavic Air 2 Like, comment and subscribe to support our channel and click the bell to enable notifications for more videos: Follow us on Instagram: Thank you for your great support. _____ Legal Notice: The content of this channel, including: videos, images and logo made by Point Of View.
