Athens is both the capital and the largest city of Greece. With its urban area's population numbering over three million, it is also the eighth largest urban area in the European Union.
Athens is one of the world's oldest cities, with its recorded history spanning over 3,400 years. The city was named after the Greek goddess of war. It is widely referred to as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy.
From 900 BCE onwards Athens was one of the main centres of trade and prosperity in the region. The leading position of Athens resulted from its central location in the Greek world, its secure stronghold on the Acropolis and its access to the sea, which gave it a natural advantage over it's rivals. Athens, together with Sparta, led a coalition of Greek states that repelled the Persians. The decades that followed became known as the Golden Age of Athenian democracy, during which time Athens became the leading city of Ancient Greece, with its cultural achievements laying the foundations for Western civilization.
By the end of Late Antiquity, Athens had declined due to attacks by migrating peoples. It was relatively prosperous during the Byzantine era and the Crusades, benefiting from Italian trade. In 1458 it was conquered by the Ottoman Empire and entered a long period of decline.
Following the Greek War of Independence, Athens was chosen as the capital of the newly independent Greek state. In modern times, Athens is a large cosmopolitan metropolis, central to economic, financial, industrial, maritime, political and cultural life in Greece. The heritage of the Classical Era is still evident in the city, represented by ancient monuments and works of art, the most notable being the Parthenon.
