Description of the place
The huge statue of Athena Parthenos is located in the heart of the city of Athens, and it is distinguished by its huge size made of chryselephantine. It is attributed to Phidias and dates back to the middle of the fifth century BC. Many artists and craftsmen worked on making the statue in its current form, which is believed to be built of cypress wood. Then it was covered with panels of gold and ivory, and its height is about 11.50 meters. Today, it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the city.
