The Parthenon in Athens, Greece was under construction from 447 BC to 432 BC. The Parthenon was created to honor the Greek goddess Athena, whom was called the protector of the city. Though the Parthenon is considered a temple, it was never meant to be used as a religious spot; there was no cult activity there. Instead, it is believed that the Parthenon was used as a sort of treasury.
