# Parthenon

Athens, Greece

The marble temple of Athena that crowns the Acropolis, built between 447 and 432 BCE by the architects Iktinos and Callicrates with sculpture overseen by Phidias. Famed for its Doric proportions and optical refinements, it endures as the supreme icon of classical Greek architecture.
