My own culture and civilization STUDENT DESPOINA APOSTOLAKI A country with historical course from the 7th millennium BC, Greece has a fascinating and interesting past. Historical monuments in Greece and the Greek islands date from all time periods, from the Mycenaean and the Classical times till the Medieval and Modern Era. You will find bellow a list with the most important historical monuments in Greece. The culture of Greece has evolved over thousands of years, beginning in Mycenaean Greece, continuing most notably into Classical Greece, through the influence of the Roman Empire and its successor the Byzantine Empire.

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

The Parthenon is an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece and of Athenian Democracy. It is regarded as one of the world's greatest cultural monuments

KNOSSOS HERAKLEION CRETE In a short distance of 5 km from Herakleion Town, Knossos is the most important sight in Crete island. Discovered in the early 20th century by the British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans, the site was found almost intact and covered by ashes. This led scientists believe that the palace was destroyed by a tsunami wave caused by the volcanic eruption of Santorin in about 1,500 BC.

KARYATID IN AKROPOLIS A caryatid is a sculpted female figure serving as an architectural support taking the place of a column or a pillar supporting an entablature on her head. The Greek term karyatides literally means "maidens of Karyai", an ancient town of Peloponnese. Karyai had a famous temple dedicated to the goddess Artemisin her aspect of Artemis Karyatis.

ANCIENT OLYMPIA Olympia is the place where the first ancient Olympic Games took place in 776 BC. These games were organized every four years to honor god Zeus and according to the myth it was the famous hero Hercules who started these games. Gradually these sports competitions became very important for all the Greek cities and it was considered a great honor for a city-state if their athlete won in the Olympic Games. The temples of Zeus and Hera and the Ancient Stadium are today the most important sights in Ancient Olympia, while excavations are still.

MYCENAE Located on the north eastern side of Peloponnese, the town of Mycenae gave its name to an entire civilization, the Mycenaean civilization. The giagantic city walls that are said to have been built by Cyclops, the Lion Gate and the Treasury of Atreus are the most important monuments and sights in Mycenae. Right next to the ancient site, there is an interesting Archaeological Museum.
