The Parthenon in Athens was famously damaged during the Venetian siege of 1687 when it was used by Ottoman forces as a gunpowder magazine. A Venetian bombardment struck the structure, causing a massive explosion that severely damaged the temple. While the direct act of burning down the Parthenon was not attributed to a single individual, the conflict and subsequent bombardment led to its destruction. The building has since become a symbol of both ancient Greek culture and the impact of warfare on historical monuments.
