Tourists can finally see the Parthenon – level 1

Tourists can finally see the Parthenon

23-06-2026 07:00

Workers in Greece finish repairing the famous Parthenon temple. They take away all the metal construction.

Now, the old building is open and clean. It is in its most complete form in over 200 years. Tourists from all over the world come to see it. Many people say that it is a big dream to see the Acropolis without the construction.

Last year, there is too much construction. Now, the temple looks very beautiful and amazing. Visitors can see the building as in a long time ago. They can look at it from far away, or they can come close to it.

Difficult words: repair (to fix something broken), temple (a special building where people go to show respect to their god or gods), complete (finished, with all the parts).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What two ways can visitors view the temple now that the old building is open and clean?
