Parthenon

The Parthenon was a temple found in Athens, Greece. Various members of the Slitheen family attempted to destroy it in 1500 BC, but were stopped by the Tenth Doctor and June. (PROSE: The Slitheen Excursion)

Appearance

Because it was created before the invention of the load-bearing arch, the Parthenon had many close together pillars to hold up its roof. Above these pillars was a collection of many colorfully sculptures, which included statues of horses marching in parade. (PROSE: The Slitheen Excursion)

History

Not long after its construction, the Slitheen family attempted to destroy the Parthenon, but they were prevented from doing so by the Doctor. Later, in 1687, an explosion of gunpowder had destroyed the roof. Many of the sculptures which were found above the columns were taken and put into various museums. At some point, the Parthenon itself became a museum. (PROSE: The Slitheen Excursion)
