Hello, lady and gentlment.

I am happy to be here to show my presentation to

you. My name is Nguyen Minh Nhat, and I am a Business Administration
student at International University. Today's lecture is talking about a
cultural UNESCO World Heritage Property, The Arcopolis of Athens. The
goal of this talk is to assist everyone to have more interesting knowledge and
understand more about Arcopolis.
My presentation will be divided into three contents: overview, history and
historical monuments. And if you have any questions, please wait until the end
of my presentation to ask them.

Let’s start with the first part: overview about the Arcopolis

The Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel located on a rocky outcrop above the
city of Athens and contains the remains of several ancient buildings of great
architectural and historical significance, the most famous being the Parthenon.

About fortress building, While there is evidence that the hill was inhabited as far
back as the fourth millennium BC, it was Pericles (c. 495–429 BC) in the fifth
century BC who coordinated the construction of the buildings whose present
remains are the site's most important ones, including the Parthenon, the Propylaea,
the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike.

Next we learn the great history of the arcopolis.

First is the golden age of the Arcopolis, The Acropolis’ flat top is the result of
thousands of years of construction beginning as far back as the Bronze Age.
During the Greek Dark Ages (800 B.C. to 480. B.C.), the Acropolis
remained largely intact. Many religious festivals were held there, and the
artifacts of the time reflected the grandeur of ancient Athens.

Then, we will research who destroyed the Arcopolis. In 480 B.C., the Persians
attacked again and burned, leveled and looted the Old Parthenon and almost every
other structure at the Acropolis. Together with, As Greece endured many
unwelcome invaders, including the Venetians and the Turks, the Acropolis served
as mosques and storehouses for ammunition. In 1687, The Venetians bombarded
the Acropolis and decimated the Parthenon.

Finally is the historical monuments of Arcopolis of Athens

-The Parthenon: An enormous Doric-style temple that remains featured ornate
sculptures and housed a spectacular statue of the goddess Athena.
- The Propylaea: A monumental entryway to the Acropolis that included a central
building and two wings, one of which was covered with elaborately painted panels.
- The Temple of Athena Nike: A small Ionic-style temple located to the right of the
Propylaea built as a shrine to Athena Nike.
- The Erechtheion: A sacred Ionic temple made of marble which honored Athena
and several other gods and heroes. It’s best known for its porch supported by six
Caryatid maiden statues.

Now, we come to the summary information all about Arcopolis
