Athens, Greece!

Athens has always been on my places to go. The people are friendly and warm! Its the heart and soul of western civilization. In Athens you can find the Parthenon. A historical building that has influence many other buildings. There isn't much known about this building. It is known that the Parthenon was dedicated to Athena. The building itself is made out of limestone and the columns were made from Pentelic marble. The main purpose of this building was to shelter the monumental statue of Athena that was made out of gold and silver. This building was built in 447-432 BCE

    That is one big building and it is hard to walk up to it with all the cobblestones to walk on

    I went to visit Nashville Tenesse and I saw their life size version of the Partheon. I was stunning, it truly makes you appreciate the magnificence of ancient architecture.
