The original attempt to build the Parthenon in 490 BCE failed to get off the ground. The temples on the Acropolis were demolished in 480 BCE by the Persians in retaliation for the Athenians demolishing the temples in the Persian provincial capital at Sardis in 498 BCE.
With part of the profits of the empire which Athens created after the Persian invasion was turned back, the general and political leader Pericles financed the temple built for the goddess Athena 447 to 432 BCE.

What is the ancient greek building that was destroyed and then re built?
The building your talking about is the Parthenon It was destroyed by cannon fire and is being rebuilt today. The building that was destroyed then rebuilt was the Parthenon. During the Persian invasion in 480BC, the Persian were storing gun powder in an old temple. It soon was set on fire and blew up. The Parthenon we see today is actually the second Parthenon. The Greek Ministry of Culture are creating a restoration programme to restore the Parthenon and return the Elgin marbles or Parthenon Marbles back to Greece. Hope this helps isy_k
