The Acropolis of Athens, one of the most iconic landmarks of ancient Greece, has a history that stretches back thousands of years. Originally a Mycenaean fortress in the late Bronze Age (around 1400 BCE), it evolved into a religious center dedicated to the goddess Athena, the city's patron deity. The most significant period of construction took place in the 5th century BCE during the Golden Age of Athens under the leadership of Pericles. It was during this time that the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and other temples were built, showcasing the peak of classical Greek architecture and artistry.

The Acropolis has witnessed numerous historical events, from invasions by Persians, who partially destroyed it in 480 BCE, to its transformation under the Roman Empire, and later use as a Christian and Ottoman site. Over centuries, it endured war, neglect, and modifications, including use as a mosque and military post. Today, it stands as a symbol of ancient Greek civilization and a UNESCO World Heritage site, undergoing extensive restoration to preserve its cultural legacy.
