Best Answer

The acropolis is the flat-topped mountain around which Athens was built. The buildings on it started as afortress in the early 1st Millennium, and different temples were built over the following 500 years. After the Persians looted the temples in 480 BCE, they were rebuilt and extended under the auspices of Pericles with the money looted from a couple of hundred Greek city-states dominated by Athens.
