Greece's Parthenon gets a facelift, revealing a look not seen for 220 years

For the first time in about 220 years the Parthenon’s western face looks whole again after restorers fitted two new marble blocks high on the temple — the view visitors see when entering the Acropolis.
The 2,500‑year‑old monument draws roughly 4.6 million visitors a year, and officials called the restored view “truly stunning” for revealing the Parthenon’s original proportions.
The work is part of a decades‑long restoration effort that began in 1975 and was funded through a European Union program.
