Athens - Parthenon
The classic view of the Parthenon, from the northwest. The Parthenon was built in 447-431 BC. It was dedicated to the goddess Athena. It later had periods as a Christian church and a mosque. It was destroyed in 1687 when Turkish munitions were destroyed in war.
The day was hot and sunny. As a precaution, I bought a straw hat from a vendor near the Acropolis. It was a good idea.
