Parthenon, on the Athenian Acropolis in Athens, Greece is an extraordinary structure serving a faith-based role in Greek mythology. Reportedly built between 447 BC and 438 BC, the currently standing remains of Parthenon were constructed as a replacement for the original Parthenon I building. Parthenon was built in honor or Greek goddess Athena, patron of Greek citizens, and maintains classical Greek architecture by design. Parthenon is constructed out of white Pentelic marble and maintains a weathered but impressive structure to this day. Millions of tourists travel to this spiritual destination annually for the experience of strong religious connection paired with mythological belief.
