'''Acropolis''' (Greek: ''akrópolis'') is the [[Greek]] term which refers to the portion of a town or city that is built on a hilltop for easy defense. It comes from the Greek "acros" which means summit, and "polis" which means city. It literally translates to "the highest point of the city". In ancient [[Greece]], there were many [[city-states]] for geographical reasons, and they often had an acropolis located in them. [[The Acropolis]] of [[Athens]] is the best known acropolis of the world; the [[Parthenon]] is located upon it.
