Cultural Landscape of Greece

Greece's natural landscape can be attributed to the historical landscapes that make up the cultural heritage such as the mosaics seen throughout the country.  The Acropolis and The Parthenon are some of the many historical features that contribute to the cultural heritage of Greece. 
Athens one of the largest cities in Greece, which houses the majority of the population of Greece and is also home of The Acropolis, Acropolis Museum, and the Agora of Athens.
Many of the homes in Greece are related to those of ancient Greece where the houses were built primarily of mud bricks, and today many of those houses still stand. Much of the art in the homes were created using pebbles from the beach creating a mosaic art piece.  Many of the other buildings in Greece had the same column structure.

Many of the architecture in Ancient Greece can still be seen today in Greece and still in use such as the houses.  A lot of the art is still seen throughout the cities of Greece and many of the old homes where mosaic art was created. Much of the art can be seen built into ancient buildings.
