What is an acropolis and a Parthenon?
This is a strange question!
The Acropolis is a flat-topped rock which rises 150 m (490 ft) above sea level in the city of Athens.
On the Acropolis is built the Parthenon a temple built for the Greek goddess Athena in the 5th century BC
The Acropolis is a natural land form and Parthenon a construction of man, both are very beautiful but both are linked one to another.
In my opinion the location of the Parthenon makes its beauty and the Acropolis would just be another rock without the Parthenon's presence.
