Inside the Parthenon there was a huge statue of the goddess Athena. It was built in the 5th century BC. Over the centuries, it has been greatly damaged and its sculpture has been removed Outside the Parthenon, high up on its four walls there is a frieze. This frieze is a series of sculptures that goall the way round the building. These sculptures were not added to the building. The sculptors actually cut the frieze out of the very stone which formed the walls of the building. This frieze is one of the most wonderful works of art ever created.
