Its history goes back to the prehistoric period. In the classical period, it was the central city religious center and symbol of Athenian democracy.
Later on, it served as the political and military center of the city's multiple conquerors. Nowadays, the Acropolis is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most popular destinations for visitors from all over the world.
