- "The famous Akropolis. A testament to humankind's skill and craftmanship."
- ―Kassandra, 431 BCE.[src]

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
During the Peloponnesian War, the acropolis was visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra.[3]
During the 1500s, the Assassin Mentor Ezio Auditore da Firenze sent a group of Ottoman Assassins to recover Isu technology that had been discovered beneath the Akropolis.[4]
Landmarks

- Stoa extension to the Chalkotheke with 18 Doric columns (11 in game) built in 375 BCE
