Parthenon (Civ5)

== Game Info ==
* +4 
* Contains a prebuilt Great Work of Art in the Great Work Slot.
== Strategy ==
The Parthenon is a wonder that automatically grants you a free Great Work of Art (usually your first Great Work ever), allowing you to jump-start your and start gaining influence over the other players. This will likely be the only Classical Great Work of Art in the game (if the wonder is built in this era), which can help tremendously with getting your theming bonuses. All players pursuing a cultural victory should try to build it.
Also, the +6 (+4 base, +2 with the Great Work) generated is significant at this point of the game, and a great help for early Social Policies.

== Trivia ==
* The Parthenon was used as a fortification during a Venetian siege in 1687, and was critically damaged by an exploding gunpowder depot. The missing columns at the southern side still mark this spot, and the once translucent roof was gone for good, reducing the Parthenon to a row of columns.
* The Parthenon is depicted in-game as archaeologists now believe it looked in ancient times, painted as opposed to the traditional depictions of stark white marble.
