Athens, the birthplace of democracy and the city where the first Olympic Games were held, dazzled with architectural marvels like the Parthenon and the Propylaea, showcasing the technical mastery and beauty of its era. The city’s agora was a hub for debate, law, and ideas, surrounded by magnificent structures.
