Acropolis
An acropolis is any citadel or complex built on a high hill.

Once again, I missed last week's Weekly Wemininscence because my life is a flaming ball of chaos at the moment (RIP my nanoreno goals... still gonna keep working on that project, though :D ) but here's a nice Acropolis painting that I did some years ago (is very big irl >:D ) featuring the Erechtheion (which goes by many spellings in English, seemingly) in the foreground and Propylaea (ditto) in the background!
You can also see some of the remnants of the OLD, old temple in front of the caryatid porch on the Erechtheion (it was destroyed by the Persians in 480BC and the Athenians took the opportunity to rebuild the sanctuary according to one cohesive vision).
I sold this painting to my lovely Physics teacher but it taught me that selling paintings is not for me because, while I do not regret the decision and am glad that it went to a good home, I do still miss it and do not want to sell any more! :D They are my babies <3
(I also feel like none of my paintings can ever have as much significance to someone else as they do to me, so they shall remain part of my HOARD)
