It is a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena. The name Parthenon means apartments for unmarried women, and comes from the Greek parthenos which means virgin. It was built between 447 BC and 438 BC, and decorations continued until 432 BC. It is in Athens, and not surprisingly the Athenians considered Athena to be their patron.
