For the first time in 200 years, visitors can see Greece's most iconic historic landmark free of scaffolding. But anyone who's interested needs to act fast to catch the view.

The Parthenon temple, which sits upon Athens' famed Acropolis Hill, has been the subject of continuous restoration efforts since the early 19th century.

On Oct. 11, The Associated Press reported that the latest scaffolding project on the Parthenon's western facade — going on since 2005 — had concluded.
