Acropolis

1. The fortified height or citadel of an ancient Greek city.
2. A raised area holding a building or cluster of buildings.

Acropolis literally means high city. For purposes of the defense, early settlers naturally chose elevated ground, usually a hill with steep sides, and these became the nuclei of large cities which grew up on the surrounding lower ground areas in many parts of the world. The word "Acropolis" is Greek in origin and associated primarily with Greek cities (Athens, Argos, Thebes, and Corinth), but can be applied to any raised area holding a building or cluster of buildings that is the epicenter of a city and/or society. The most famous example is the Acropolis of Athens which is generally known without qualification as simply “The Acropolis”. The Acropolis is a flat-topped rock which rises 150 m (512 ft) above sea level in the city of Athens. One of the most recognizable sites in the entire world sits at the Acropolis, the Parthenon. The Parthenon is a temple of the Greek goddess Athena built in the 5th century BC. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece and is regarded as an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece and of Athenian democracy. An Acropolis is the pinnacle of a society and represents greatness and achievement.
