The acroplolys

These days I’m really interested in studying the classic architecture in Athens. In this post I want to explain a little bit about the process of the construction of one of the greatest architecture projects ever made. I´m talking about the acropolis.

Acropolis means “a tall city”, for example, Athens acropolis was built at the top of a hill at the center of the city, because it was a group of religious temples, so it had to be high to reach the divinity of the gods in the sky.

The acropolis was finished on the 4th century before christ and was mainly made of white marble, which was extracted from Pendelikon mountain, 17 kilometers away from the building place, making the Athens people design different smart mechanisms to transport the marble. 

Finally, I would like to make a special mention of the careful way they built the acropolis buildings and were so calculated that they're still standing today.
