The Parthenon - Athens , Greece

🇬🇷 Καλως ηρθες στην ΕΛΛΑΔΑ! Welcome to Greece! The Parthenon is the symbol of the city of Athens, all of Greece, and even western civilization! This monumental building is located in the heart of the Acropolis, an elevated ancient citadel of temples and government buildings. The Parthenon was built in the 5th century BC to commemorate victory over the Persian invaders. It was dedicated to Athena Parthenos (Athena the Virgin), where it gets its name from, and used to house a monumental statue of the goddess made of gold and ivory, along with other treasures and sculptures ( from Wikipedia ). This model was originally created in 2014 by Dany Sánchez but it has been improved and optimized in 2022 by eliminating all overhangs, making it perfectly easy to print. MiniWorld3D is excited to bring this model to life as a homage to all the people of Athens and Greece. This model was created from scratch by hand and brain in parametric software to ensure printability, using photographs and blueprints to create a beautiful and stylized version of your favorite landmarks.
