The Parthenon! ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenon ) Unique and Magnificent! The Jewel of the ancient world, now half destroyed because of some criminals like the English lord Elgin who had destroyed and then stolen the unique sculptures used to decorate the temple, and the Turks and Morosini, that during the turkish occupation the Parthenon was used as a gunpowder magazine by the Turks when on September 26, 1687 Morosini's cannons scored a direct hit on the edifice. The explosion that followed, resulted to the destruction of the most magnificent monument man ever created! Restoration works take place for more than 30 years now, and it seems they will last for some more! Hopefully, at the end, it will resemble to what it used to be before the destruction!
