Greek Architecture
This is a parthenon from Ancient Greece. It was a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of Greek art. It's one of the world's greatest cultural monuments. I think an acropolis and parthenon are basically the same thing.
This is the Porch of the Caryatids. It's a temple for the middle classical period of Greek art and architecture. It was built on the Acropolis of Temple and represented sanctuaries to Greek gods. You can tell it's old by the worn down look of these statues.
