The Parthenon faced several issues prior to its current state, including damage from pollution, structural instability, and the effects of environmental wear. In the 17th century, it was severely damaged during a Venetian bombardment when it was being used as a gunpowder store. Additionally, the removal of sculptures and other elements over the years, particularly during the 19th century, has contributed to its deterioration. Ongoing restoration efforts aim to address these historical and structural challenges.
