The Greeks built their cities around a high acropolis for both strategic and religious reasons. The elevated position provided a natural defensive advantage against invasions, allowing for better visibility and protection. Additionally, the acropolis served as a sacred space, often housing important temples and monuments dedicated to their gods, thus reinforcing the religious and cultural identity of the city. This combination of practicality and spirituality made the acropolis a central feature in Greek urban design.
