ADVERTISEMENT For the first time in two decades, Athenians and people visiting the Greek capital now have a clear view of the Parthenon, free from scaffolding. Supports erected for conservation work 20 years ago along the 5th century B.C temple's western façade have now been taken down, allowing an uncluttered view of the UNESCO World Heritage site.
