"But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memories of our lifetime"
"Immortal" - Marina And The Diamonds
For today's task, we had to look for a place we'd like to visit in the Unesco World Heritage List (UWHL) and describe it explaining why we'd want to be there. I chose the Acropolis of Athens. In Ancient Greece, an Acropolis was an elevated part of the city-state (polis) where people could spend time praying in several temples; in Athens, its most known one is the Parthenon.
The reason why I would like to visit the Acropolis of Athens is that I find Ancient Greek culture very interesting and indubitably a part of human philosophy we need and we're missing. I also love how Ancient Greek architecture expresses the ideal of beauty and harmony its culture professed.
The Acropolis of Athens was inscribed in 1987 as cultural site. Its official page in the Unesco can be found in this link.
