You are either talking about Parthenon which is the temple of the Greek Goddess Athena or the Acropolis of Athens which is also know as Cecropia.
Acropolis
Acropolis
Many Greek cities were built on a rocky hill called an acropolis. The name acropolis was from the Greek word akros, meaning highest, and polis, meaning city.
Polis is the Greek word for a city-state, that is a tract of farmland on which was built a city and its protective fortress (acro-polis = high city, that is the fortress on a hill, around which the city came to be built). It was independent - self ruled - which is why the term city-state is used.
Government buildings of an ancient Greek community was found in either the market place or on the acropolis.Hope This Helps!
