The Acropolis hill in Athens is the most important historical site in the city and one of the most recognizable monuments in the world. During the Golden Age under Pericles in the 5th century BC, the Acropolis represented the peak of artistic development in ancient Greek civilization. Architectural masterpieces from this period were constructed on the Acropolis, which symbolizes the culture and identity of Athens. As part of a school project, students learned about the Acropolis through books, websites, maps, and some classes took virtual or actual visits to experience this important historical place.
