Under the rule of the Ottomans, the Acropolis was converted into a castle, where in 1687 there was an explosion that destroyed a part. The frieze pieces were probably around then. In the 18th Century, they were then used probably as a welcome material for fixing the wall.
is that over the next few months, she recovered and carefully placed in the museum below the Acropolis. Of the 96 long-known Frieze are 56 in the British Museuum in London. However, their restitution is required for over 25 years of Athens.
