flag Scaffolding was briefly removed from Athens' Parthenon in September 2025, revealing the ancient temple for the first time in years during its ongoing restoration.

flag Scaffolding was temporarily removed from the Parthenon in Athens in late September 2025, offering the public its first unobstructed view of the ancient temple in years. flag The removal marked a transitional phase in a restoration project begun in 1975, which aims to stabilize the 5th-century BCE structure using original Pentelic marble and titanium fasteners to replace corroded iron clamps. flag Over 360 ancient stones have been reassembled, and 90 new ones carved to reconstruct the inner sanctuary. flag The work, expected to conclude by 2028, prioritizes preservation over full reconstruction. flag The Acropolis drew over 3 million visitors in 2024, making it Greece’s most-visited historical site.
