landmarks, the grave of President

Nashville's reputation as the
'Athens of the South' inspired the
building of this full-sized
reproduction of ancient Greece's
most glorious temple, the
Parthenon. Complete with an
interior sculpture of the goddess
Athena and accurate reproductions
of the original temple's pediment
sculptures, the Parthenon is a
delightful addition to Centennial
Park and one of Nashvilles most
impressive landmarks.

Nashvilles Ryman Auditorium was
originally built as a religious
tabernacle and the one-time home of
the Grand Ole Opry and the likes of
Charlie Chaplin have graced its
stage. Having remained closed for
many years, the Ryman Auditorium
was recently renovated and
reopened, and now contains displays
on its history and hosts regular
musical performances.
