parte più eminente e fortificata di un'antica città

AI overview

An acropolis was the fortified upper settlement of an ancient Greek city, typically built on a steep-sided hill for defensive purposes. While the term is most famous for referring to Athens's Acropolis, nearly every Greek city had its own acropolis, and the word itself comes from Greek roots meaning "top city."

L'acropoli è un termine (derivato dal greco ἄκρος " pronuncia akros", alto, πὸλις "pronuncia polis", città) che originariamente indicava la parte più alta della polis greca. Estendendone il significato, può essere chiamata "acropoli" la parte più eminente e fortificata di un'antica città.
