7)The Parthenon was used by the Greeks for centuries, but in the 300s AD the pagan religion was banned when Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire. In the Middle Ages it was used as a church of the Virgin Mary, and later it became a mosque, when the Turks ruled Athens.In 1687 the Parthenon was being used by the Turks as an arsenal – so it was full of barrels of gunpowder. The Venetians bombarded it with cannon fire, and BOOM! – the middle and the roof were blown up. That’s why it is in such a state today. The Greek government is doing what it can to restore the Parthenon, but this will take many more years to finish.
