The Parthenon is a temple on the Athenian Acropolis in Greece. Construction began in 447 BC and was completed in 438 BC. The temple was dedicated to the goddess Athena. It was designed by the architects Ictinus and Callicrates. The Parthenon symbolizes the power and culture of ancient Athens. The sculptor Phidias crafted the statue of Athena inside the Parthenon. It has been used as a church and a mosque over centuries. Venetian bombardment in 1687 caused significant damage to the structure. Many sculptures were removed by Lord Elgin and are now in the British Museum. It remains a symbol of ancient Greek heritage and democracy. The Parthenon is a major tourist attraction today.
