I’m going to talk about the Parthenon-Temple.

This is the temple built praying to the guardian in Athens. It is said that it was constructed in honor of the victory in the Persian war. It was all completed in 433B.C.
The width is about 31meters, and the length is about 70 meters, and the height is about 10.5 meters. There are 8 pillars in both the front and the back side. There are 46 pillars around it in all. The inner sanctuary of the temple is surrounded by walls, and inside it is marked off by four rooms.
On the East side across the Parthenon-Temple, there used to be a sculptured group and it related to the birth of the goddess in Athens. However, no longer can it be seen there.This is because they were sent to England by ship in the back of 18th century. But now they are drawing people’s attention in the museum in Engla
