Acropolis means ‘high city’ in Greek, and it was not originally built as a tourist attraction, but as a fortified citadel.
The Parthenon, the most iconic structure of the Acropolis, was once transformed into a mosque by the Ottoman Empire during their rule.
The Erechtheion temple on Acropolis is said to have a sacred olive tree that was gifted by the Greek goddess Athena herself.
