Modern Sights - Athens

The visitor of Athens becomes witness of a complex puzzle of structures that includes parts of a diverse aesthetic value and quality, from gray monotonous blocks of apartments (products of the anarchic urbanization that took place in previous decades), to neoclassical buildings, green zones, well lit squares and imposing buildings, such as the Athens Tower and, of course, the modern Acropolis Museum.
