The Akropolis Sanctuary, also called the Akropolis of Athens,^[1] was a massive acropolis and citadel in central Athens, Greece. Notable landmarks atop it built out of Naxian marble^[2] include the Parthenon, the Statue of Athena, and the Erechtheion. It was also the end point of the Sacred Way that connected the acropolis to the Sanctuary of Eleusis.

History[edit | edit source]

During the Peloponnesian War, the acropolis was visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra.^[3]

In 1511, the Assassin Mentor Ezio Auditore sent a group of Ottoman Assassins to recover Isu technology that had been discovered beneath the Akropolis.^[4]

Landmarks[edit | edit source]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

The Akropolis Sanctuary is anachronistically based on how it would have looked in 346 BC,^[5] as it contains the Temple of Athena Nike built in 427-421 BCE, the Erechtheion built in 421-407 BCE, a stoa extension to the Chalkotheke with 18 Doric columns (11 in game) built in 375 BCE, and an extension to the Brauroneion built in 346 BCE.
