Site plan of the Acropolis at Athens showing the major archaeological remains
The Acropolis is a klippe consisting of two lithostratigraphic units, the Athens schist and the overlying Acropolis limestone.
The Athens schist is a soft reddish rock dating from the upper Cretaceous period.
The Acropolis limestone dates from the upper Jurassic period, predating the underlying Athens schist by about 30 million years.
The Acropolis limestone was thrust over the Athens schist by compressional tectonic forces (Plate tectonics), forming a nappe or overthrust sheet.
Where the Athens schist and the limestone meet there are springs and karstic caves.
Many of the hills in the Athens region were formed by the erosion of the same nappe as the Acropolis.
It is situated on a hill of average height (156m) that rises in the basin of Athens.
Moreover, the Acropolis and its surroundings, which constitute monuments per se, are protected by legislative decrees (Ministerial Decrees F01/12970/503/25.2.82 concerning the designation of its buffer zone; and F43/7027/425/29.1.2004 concerning the designation of the peripheral zone of the city of Athens and imposing obligatory control before issuing any building or development permit within its boundaries).
The fact that the propertyxe2x80x99s buffer zone is a protected archaeological area itself, along with the implementation of the strict legal framework xe2x80x93 especially for the urban tissue in the historical centre of Athens since 2002 xe2x80x93 and the intense monitoring by the competent Ephorate, ensure that urban development pressures are adequately addressed.
The property is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Culture, Education and Religious Affairs, through the Ephorate of Antiquities of Athens, its competent Regional Service, which is responsible for the sitexe2x80x99s security and protection, as well as the implementation of an efficient site and visitorsxe2x80x99 management system.
Moreover, the Ministry of Culture, Education and Religious Affairs implements the legislative decrees concerning the safeguarding of the property and its peripheral zone (which corresponds to the boundaries of the ancient city of Athens and its surroundings) and ensures the visual integrity of the site.
The New Acropolis Museum (inaugurated in 2009), in which most of the original sculptural and/or architectural pieces of the monuments are conserved, the on-going project xe2x80x9cUnification of the Archaeological Sites of Athensxe2x80x9d, as well as the long-term conservation works will enhance the protection and the presentation of the property.
