While you could read entire books on the history of Athens, its beauty and elegance can still be appreciated no matter your knowledge of Greek history. If you've been to Athens before or you've always dreamed of going there, consider adding this Athens - Greece - Panorama to your dorm room supplies. When shopping for college wall decor, panoramas make downright superior college decorations. They're strikingly beautiful and they offer a unique dorm item. Every student will have at least some dorm decorations, but bring your own touch by providing wall decor items for college that are different (and better!) than most.
* Use Glue Dots to hang the unframed panorama.
Text on Panorama:
This panoramic photograph of Athens was taken by James Blakeway. Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece and host city to the 2004 Summer Olympics. The fortification centered in this photograph is the Acropolis. Atop the Acropolis is the Parthenon, chief temple of the goddess Athena built between 447 and 432 B.C. and considered a supreme example of Doric architecture. Behind the Parthenon is Mount Lycabettos, the highest hill of Athens. The brightly lit structure to the lower left is the Theater of Herod Atticus, built by the Romans in 160 A.D.. Various performances still take place in this ancient amphitheater today.
