An acropolis (Ancient Greek: , tr. Akrópolis; from ákros () or ákron () "highest, topmost, outermost" and pólis "city"; plural in English: acropoles, acropoleis or acropolises) was in ancient Greece a settlement, especially a citadel, built upon an area of elevated groundfrequently a hill with precipitous sides, chosen for purposes of defense.
