闲来有趣
The main display in the Acropolis Museum is the various cultural relics collected from the Acropolis. Many authentic products are here, but the things on the Acropolis are fake. The cultural relics inside represent the highest level of Greek art. The museum ticket is four euros, and many places cannot be photographed. Some large exhibits cannot be photographed, so they are all small collections.

The scene must be accompanied by a background story, otherwise it will only look at the ruins of a pile of stone pillars. Limestone, the roof is built in marble. Supported by 34 Corinthian columns about 17 meters high, 13 long and 6 wide. Its gables and interior hall porch are beautifully carved marble, and there are many Athens-style statues in the glaze.

The Parliament Building is a building modeled on the ancient tradition. The whole building structure is very special. It is also quite interesting to visit here. The interior space of the building is very special. You can see a lot of interesting artworks and unique style products.

From 3000 BC to 1100 BC, there was a Minoan culture in Crete, and from 1600 BC to 1050 BC, there was a Mycenean culture in the Peloponnesian Peninsula. In 800 BC, a slavery city-state was formed, and the 5th century was the heyday.

春风不曾谋面
The Temple of Irektion, one of the famous buildings of the Acropolis, was originally a stone temple for the remains of the eight saints. It is said that this is the place where the goddess Athena and the sea god Poseidon fought for the protection of the goddess of Athens. The Temple of Iraktion, located on a bumpy high ground south of the Temple of Erehshou, was built between 421 BC and 405 BC. It is a typical representative of the Ionian style of the Acropolis architecture. It is the final completion of the plan for the reconstruction of the Acropolis formulated by Perricus. Important building with a very sophisticated design.[1] The Temple of Irektion has three temples, dedicated to Zeus, the Greek god of the sea, Poseidon, and Hephistus, the blacksmith, and two distinctive colonnades connecting them. The temple of Iraktion, the ceiling and floor of the northern columns of the temple have square holes, which are said to have been pierced by Poseidon's Trident.

The Acropolis is about 4km2 in size and is surrounded by strong walls. The natural mountainous terrain allows people to climb the Acropolis only from the west. The east, south and north of the Highlands are cliffs and the terrain is very steep. The entrance to the ancient acropolis of Boule Puli is on the west side of the hill. This gate and the ladder to climb the hill are Roman-era buildings. Step up the right step, and the left side of the midway balcony can look out to the ancient Angolan ruins that extend south down the hill. There are also stairs leading from the balcony to the basement, which can be reached all the way down to the ancient well at the bottom of the Acropolis. The Propylaea is the true entrance to the Acropolis, with the Dorian and O'Aignan columns cleverly interspersed and majestic. The gate was previously made up of palaces on both sides, but now there are only five pillars left. The front gate of the Acropolis (Propylaea) was built in the fifth century AD to lead to the Acropolis Temple, which is divided into three parts: the north wing from left to right, the central building and the south wing. The central building has six large Dorian columns, five entrances and three Ionian columns on each side. The outside Dorian columns give a sense of majesty, while the inside is elegant and charming. The north wing building is more complete, and the room wall has a painting by the ancient famous painter Horikoletus, called Pinakothiki. The south wing seems to be in pairs with the north wing at first glance, but it is actually a colonnade building and is relatively small in scale.

Delphi Museum Delphi Archaeological Museum is located in Delphi, central Greece. The museum building designed by the famous museum master Patro Klaus is built on the mountain. The style is calm and restrained, almost integrated with the surrounding environment. If you don't know the bottom line, It is not felt that this is one of the most important collections of ancient Greek art.
