the Parthenon is actually only one,located on the acropolis holly cliff.it was a temple dedicated to goddess Athens.there are though quite a few temples in Greece looking similar to the Parthenon
The Parthenon, Was Named After Athna. (The Goddess Of ''Wisdom'')
This is an opinion question and, as a result, you may have different answers.I believe that since the British properly paid the Ottoman government for the Elgin Marbles, transported them, and has protected them for roughly 200 years, the British should retain the right to exhibit the marbles. While I am sympathetic to the Greek argument that these treasures should be restored to their home, this is insufficient to match the incredible cost borne by the British in acquiring and preserving the artifacts, never mind the fact that Britain remains more stable for long term preservation of the artifacts and that there is no impediment to Greeks visiting the collections in Britain. (Compare this to the Iraqi Jewish Archive where the exhibition is slated to go to Iraq, where most Iraqi Jews - who are currently Israeli citizens - cannot go.)
You Google Parthenon.

Lord Elgin took the Elgin Marbles from the ruins of the Parthenon starting around 1801.

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
King George III was the ruler of England from 1760-1820. The 7th Lord Elgin obtained the marbles about 1811.
Also known as the Parthenon marbles they are architectural carvings originally belonging to the Parthenon and other buildings at The Acropolis. Most likely created during the Golden Age of Athens(460–430 BC), Phidias was a great Athenian sculptor of the time who is known to have created the bronze statue of Athena.
The Parthenon marbles are some sculpted freize that used to belong to Athens Greece but half was taken by Elgin from Britain/England they have been wanted by both countries and there is now a debate on who should keep it. I am a neutralist.

They are reliefs cut out of blocks of marble in the 430s BC.
