The Acropolis of Athens ( Greek: Ακρόπολη Αθηνών ) is an ancient citadel located on a high rocky outcrop above the city of Athens and containing the remains of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historic significance, the most famous being the Parthenon.

Although there are many other acropoleis in Greece, the significance of the Acropolis of Athens is such that it is commonly known as " The Acropolis " without qualification.

The Acropolis is located on a flat-topped rock that rises above sea level in the city of Athens, with a surface area of about 3 hectares.

Under the Latin Duchy of Athens, the Acropolis functioned as the city's administrative center, with the Parthenon as its cathedral, and the Propylaia as part of the Ducal Palace.
