The Acropolis of Athens is perhaps the essential centerpiece of Western civilization. It features the Parthenon, the remarkable Erechtheion, and the temple of Athena Nike. Unfortunately its ruins are not particularly well-persevered, and the site is often crowded. Nonetheless, it’s well worth a visit.
