Part of the Acropolis's charm is that its history.
From its start as a temple, to it's conversion to a mosque during the Ottoman Era, to its near destruction when a stockpile of gunpowder blew up, to the pillaging of the friezes and metopes by Lord Elgin in the 1800s, the history of this building is amazing. One of the most contentious issues about the building is the fact that the sculptures that once adorned the top of the temple reside in the British Museum on London. For the last century, the Greek Government has requested the return of the Parthenon Marbles, a demand that the British Government flatly refuse. Some of the sculptures that escaped the pillaging of Lord Elgin are found in the Acropolis museum. To see the original marbles, one must go to the British Museum, where they are on display to the public, free of charge. Hopefully, one day, they will be in their rightful place in Athens. Just down from the Parthenon is the Ancient Agora, the old Turkish market that has been uncovered by archaeologist. Dotted around Athens there are a number of other ancient sites there for exploration, and maps and tours are available for those wanting to find out more.
