Visitors Gaze On Parthenon Free Of Scaffolding For The First Time In 200 Years

Visitors Gaze On Parthenon Free Of Scaffolding For The First Time In 200 Years — Scaffolding-free view of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece – SWNS, 2025

Stunning images show the ancient Parthenon temple scaffolding-free for the first time in 200 years.

Visitors to the marble wonder found in Athens, Greece, can finally enjoy a clear view without scaffolding for the first time in two centuries.

The removal of the latest iron cage – erected about 20 years ago on the temple’s western façade – happened earlier this month revealing a clear view of the UNESCO World Heritage site.

“At least two generations have not seen the Parthenon visually free,” said Greece’s culture minister Lina Mendoni.

“To see the Parthenon completely free, as it stands today, is something that has not happened for at least 200 years.”

The monument was built in the 5th century BC on top of the Acropolis to honor Athena, the patron goddess of the city, following a victory over the Persians.

However, those wanting to see the pristine view need to be quick because work is scheduled to continue on the historic structure in November with another set of scaffolds being constructed for further conservation.
