The Acropolis is the most popular attraction in Athens. The site of the sanctuary has been inhabited since the Neolithic period but reached its greatness under the reconstruction program of Pericles in the mid-5th century BC. Many of its major temples, like the Parthenon and the Erechtheion, were then rebuilt in the form that we know today.
